Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the prosciutto and cook until crisp, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes.
Add the cheese to the soup and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Puree in a blender in batches until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with the prosciutto, more cheese and chives, if using.
Serve with bread, if desired.
