In 2-quart saucepan, heat potatoes and water to boiling. Reduce heat to medium. Cover; cook about 5 minutes or until potatoes are crisp-tender.

Expert Tips

One box (9 oz) frozen asparagus cuts can be substituted for the fresh. There's no need to thaw it before adding it with the ham.
Pack this simple soup for lunch. Make the recipe the night before and cool. Divide it among single-serving, microwavable food-storage containers; seal and refrigerate.
