Instructions
- In a medium pot, cook the macaroni according to package directions. Drain as soon as they are al dente. Add a little oil and stir so they don't stick if you are not ready to add them to the soup right away.
- Meanwhile, in a large soup pot melt the butter over medium heat.
- When it is hot, add the flour and mustard. Use a whisk stir it up.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and half and half. Turn the heat up to medium-high, and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a low boil, about 5 minutes.
- Immediately reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese.
- Stir in the macaroni and ham. Keep the burner on low until it is as warm as you like.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- This is great served with a big salad and bread. If you want some veggies in your soup, frozen peas make the perfect addition. Just add them with the macaroni and heat on low until thawed.
