• 10–12 oz cubed cooked ham

2. Whisk in the cream cheese cubes and stir until incorporated into the broth and the lumps are gone.
3. Stir in the grated cheese, about 1/2 cup at a time until it melts into the mixture.
4. Add cubed ham and noodles and simmer on low until they are heated through.
5. Slowly stir in heavy cream, and simmer on low for another minute.
6. Divide into 4 large bowls and top each bowl with chopped bacon or crumbles and with reserved grated cheddar cheese.
