CREAMY POTATO CAULIFLOWER AND HAM SOUP

Creamy Potato Cauliflower and Ham Soup image

I have a potato soup recipe I love, but I wanted it to be a little less heavy on the carbs (not carb free, but just less). I decided to add cauliflower to replace some of the potatoes, and we couldn't really tell- plus it tasted great. I don't really measure my spices, so do it to your taste.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 cups chopped cauliflower
3 cups diced potatoes
6 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
2 cups carrots, chopped and steamed
2 cups diced cooked turkey ham
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
white pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

1. Bring water to a boil and add potatoes, cauliflower, and chicken bullion. Reduce heat to medium high and cook until very tender, at least 20 minutes.
2. Carefully transfer to a blender or food process, or use an immersion blender. Blend in batches, and return soup to the pot.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt in cream cheese. Season and add garlic.
4. Add carrots and ham. Cook till ham and carrots are warmed through.

Tips:

Use a large pot to make sure there is enough room for all the ingredients and to prevent the soup from boiling over.
If you don't have a ham bone, you can use 1 pound of cooked ham, diced.
To save time, you can use frozen diced potatoes instead of fresh potatoes.
To make the soup creamier, you can add 1/2 cup of heavy cream or milk before serving.
If you want a thicker soup, you can add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour or cornstarch to the soup before serving.
Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This creamy ham and potato soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious soup, give this creamy ham and potato soup a try.
