  • Whisk in the flour and continue to stir constantly until the mixture thickens (about 1-2 minutes).

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good choice for this soup because they hold their shape well and don't get mushy. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes or red potatoes, if desired.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many ingredients to the pot at once, the soup will be too thick. Add the ingredients in small batches, and stir constantly to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Gruyère, Swiss, or Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Season the soup to taste. Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder, depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. This soup is delicious served with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a few oyster crackers.

Conclusion:

This cheesy ham and potato soup is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
