Cheddar Ham Chowder
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…
