Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 pound cubed fully cooked ham

  • 1 small white onion, diced

  • 6 cups fat-free milk

  • 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of potato soup

  • 4 cups frozen Southern-style hash brown potatoes

  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Cook and stir bacon and ham together in a large pot over medium-high heat until some of the bacon fat renders, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the onion and continue cooking until the bacon and ham are browned and the onion translucent, 5 to 7 minutes more.

  2. Pour milk and potato soup into the pot; add potatoes, garlic salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook mixture at a simmer, stirring frequently, until heated through and slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.

  3. Ladle soup into bowls and top with Cheddar cheese and green onions.
