Ingredients

2 cans 12.5 oz. premium diced ham (I use Harvest Creek from Costco)

Approx. 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (you could use frozen if you don't have)

1 can cream of broccoli soup

1 14 oz can of chicken broth

4 oz. light cream cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 Tbls dijon mustard

1/2 tsp thyme

1/2 tsp McCormack Roasted Garlic and Red Bell Pepper seasoning (or just add minced garlic or omit altogether)

Pasta - I used approx. 8 oz. of shells - use any kind you like and more or less

Directions

Bring water to boil for pasta - cook according to directions

Meanwhile in large saute pan, add cream of broccoli soup, chicken broth, and ham and bring to boil

Reduce to simmer and add broccoli

Add thyme and garlic seasoning

Remove from heat and add cream cheese (I use back of large spoon pressing against cream cheese and go in circular motion till incorporated)

Put back on simmer

Add dijon

No need to salt because of the ham, soup and cheese

When pasta's done, drain and add to pot

Add cheddar and stir till melted

Serve and enjoy!

I forgot to say, to make it thicker, add more cream cheese or cheddar, and if too thick, add some milk or more chicken broth.

This looks good even with that can o broccolli soup. Actually I like cream of broccolli in the can, one of the few I do like.
