Ham Potato Broccoli Soup

Each Thanksgiving we are blessed with a (large) half ham from Matt's employer. Last year, once we broke it open, we were struggling to eat it all quickly enough. This soup was a result, enjoy!

Ham Potato Broccoli Soup
16 cups potatoes
10 cups water
5 cups ham, chopped
2 cups onions, chopped
16 oz. pkg. broccoli
8 oz. pkg. cheddar cheese
freshly ground pepper to taste

I sauteed the onions first and then threw everything else in (except the cheese). I didn't even peel the potatoes but I have a Norwex veggie cloth that cleans them really well. And we don't mind skins. After the potatoes had softened I took a couple cups at a time and spun it through my manual food processor until it had a nice creamy texture. Then I added the cheese at the end.

Our ham arrived last Tuesday. We haven't opened it but I'm already looking forward to this soup again!!
