Potato and Ham Soup

This is a budget stretching meal. It is also a family recipe from my (adopted family) grandmother, Margaret Witkowski (1911-1979). My grandmother was a farmer's wife. They married when she was 14 years old. I enjoyed visiting their 150-acre farm in Wisconsin during my youth. My grandfather, Paul Witkowski (1906-1970), bought the farm during the Great Depression. Recipe serves two. Easily increase ingredients for more soup or omit ham for a vegetarian meal.
