Sausage and Potato Chowder

Nothing beats a nice, hot bowl of soup on a chilly fall evening.  And this soup is so good!

I had about a pound of smoked sausage left over from another recipe, and an 8 oz. package of diced ham that I wanted to use up.  I was debating what to make with it, and finally decided I would make a pot of soup that could simmer for awhile so I could get some other chores done.

I just kind of decided what to put in as I went along, and it turned out so good!  I used gluten free cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup from Wal Mart.  It's just their private label stuff, but it is so good!  I use it all the time and no one can tell!  I think it's $1.39 a can, or something like that, and they have tomato soup as well.  So good!  If you don't need to make it gluten free, just use regular cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup.  Velveeta is gluten free, and I love to use it in soups because it melts so nicely.  Just makes it creamy!

The only thing to watch in this soup is the amount of water you use.  I needed to add an extra cup after I cooked the potatoes awhile.  You could also use milk, if you want to.  You will just have to judge as you go along.

Here is the recipe for the soup:
