3. After bacon is cooked, remove bacon from pan. Keep 4 tbls(I just kept all the grease in the pan from cooking the half pound of bacon) bacon grease in frying pan and add onion, celery, carrot and cook for about 10 minutes or until onions are translucent.
4. Transfer cooked veggies and bacon grease to the empty soup pot that the potatoes were in.

6. Slowly add the saved water from the potatoes to the pot while stirring to combine. The mixture should be quite thick.
7. Add the chicken broth, ham, salt, pepper, cooked potatoes and crumbled bacon and return to simmer. Stir well to combine the liquids.
