My wife makes potato soup.
Boil diced potatos, and sliced ham in salt and pepper(4 potatos) 2"of water in average size pan, 4 strips of crumbled bacon, add salt and pepper as desired. When potatos are done add 2 more inches of milk(or as desired), boil, then remove from heat, add boxed mashed potatos to desired thickness. Add shredded cheese as desired.
Ham, greenbeans, potato soup.
Or we take sliced ham, cannned green beans, and diced potatos in a pot of water, cook until potatos are soft and enjoy how they all 3 cook together, surprisingly good.
