My husband thought this tasted like potato soup. We all loved it and he went on and on about it. Now living in Germany we can't always find everything. For this recipe there was no Velveeta in the store. So I bought block pepper jack cheese which gave this recipe a kick and we love it and will make this many more times.I also used the whole package of chopped ham. My hubby loves his meat.
