How to Make Mac N Cheese Soup

1. Cook macaroni: In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 pound of elbow macaroni and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté vegetables: While macaroni cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 cup of broccoli florets. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
3. Make the cheese sauce: Empty the contents of one 7-ounce box of macaroni and cheese mix's cheese sauce packet into the saucepan with the vegetables. Stir in 2 cups of milk until smooth and creamy.
4. Combine and heat: Add the cooked macaroni and 1 cup of cooked ham, diced, to the saucepan. Stir well to combine. Heat through, approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the cheese sauce is melted and creamy.
5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy! Garnish with extra cheese or fresh herbs, if desired.
