Prep all veggies and have ready before starting.
This part is optional but I like to brown the ham on med heat in the dutch oven before cutting it up. Adds flavor!
In the same large pot or dutch oven add beef broth and veggies along with seasonings and bay leaves. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, place lid on slightly cracked for around 20 min.
In a large pan cook diced bacon on medium heat. Remove once cooked through and set aside.
Add flour and stir well to create roux. Allow to cook a few min and continue to stir.
After about 20 min of simmering, remove bay leaves and add the heavy cream/whole milk. Once that comes back up to a simmer you can add roux. Stir continuously and work in shredded cheese.
Add ham and bacon. Allow to simmer around 10 more min before eating. Enjoy!
