Dilly Potato Soup

Directions

1. 1
   Boil potatoes in large pot with enough water to cover potatoes and have a little extra. (I used an eight-quart pot.)
2. 2
   When potatoes are tender, drain about 2/3 of the water, leaving some in the pot.
3. 3
   Add cubed cream cheese and butter.
4. 4
   Cover and allow cream cheese and butter to soften.
5. 5
   Combine with potatoes and remaining water, mashing some of the potato cubes to thicken the soup.
6. 6
   Add chopped ham.
7. 7
   Season with salt, black pepper, white pepper and dill to taste (I used about 1/2 T. dill, and found that that gave it a good flavor).
8. 8
   Serve immediately.
