Brrr.  It’s officially fall this weekend, and we’re definitely celebrating (and warming up) with this amazing homey Cheddar Ham Chowder.

Cheddar Ham Chowder is a classic combination of salty ham and gooey cheese, mixed together in a soup along with veggies and potatoes.  Cheddar Ham Chowder is one of my easiest soup recipes.  Simple and to the point.  It’s also a great freezer meal.  Serve with warm, crusty bread. Mmm…
