Categories     Ham

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (I keep mine with the peel)
1/3 cup celery, diced
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup chopped carrot
1 -2 cup ham, diced and cooked
3 1/4 cups chicken broth or 3 1/4 cups ham stock
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules (omit if using chicken broth)
salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon pepper
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Combine potatoes, celery, carrots, onion, ham, and water/broth in stockpot and bring to boil.
  • Then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt (if using), and pepper.
  • In separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook stirring constantly until thick.
  • Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form and all milk is added. Turn up to medium heat. Continue to stir until thick (4-5 minutes).
  • Add in cheese and stir until melted.
  • Stir the cheese mixture into the stockpot and cook until heated through. (I also will break up some of the potatoes for thickness. It gets thicker as it cools and next day).

This is a delicious recipe for ham and potato soup that a friend gave to me. It is very easy and the great thing about it is that you can add additional ingredients, more ham, potatoes, etc and it still turns out great. It's a hearty, easy to do soup that's ready in about 45 minutes. Perfect for using up leftover ham.

Provided by CHEF GRPA

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/3 cup diced celery
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
3 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon pepper (white or black to taste)
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.
  • 2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • 3. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
  • My Note: We don't care for cooked celery so I use a little celery seed . I use this recipe as a base also, with many variations , such as -- no meat at all , italian sausage & extra onion, (my favorite), diced chicken breast & (presteamed) broccoli (my grandkids' favorite !)and coming soon .garlic, chicken breast, baby carrots, frozen corn,green beans and coarsely chopped onion. Making the white sauce separately really added the right creaminess to the potato/ham & veggie mixture. I used a can of chicken broth for part of the liquid, as I didn't have any bullion. Also threw in some shredded carrots I had on hand, plus 1/2 cup shredded cheese to the white sauce after it had thickened. Also, (to disguise the carrots), added a sprinkle of cheese to each bowl upon serving. Very creamy and tasty. Maybe a possibly of adding corn next time.

  • Sort, wash and soak beans overnight. Drain, rinse and put in the crock pot, stirring in all of the remaining ingredients. Add enough water to cover all ingredients, typically almost to the top of the pot. I usually increase the garlic because we love it. Be careful with the salt, I add sparingly to compensate for the ham hock and the additional diced ham. Cover crock pot, cook on high for 3 hours, turn to low for 6 hours or more. I remove the ham hock, cut the meat off, cutting away the fat it in the process and place remaining meat back into the pot.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: To create a more complex and flavorful soup, combine different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Golds, russets, and red potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: To ensure that the potatoes retain their shape and texture, avoid overcooking them. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The type of broth you use will greatly impact the overall flavor of the soup. Choose a broth that complements the other ingredients, such as chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
  • Add in your favorite vegetables: Feel free to customize the soup by adding in your favorite vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, peas, or corn.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to make ham and potato soup. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and techniques to find the perfect soup for your taste.

Conclusion:

Ham and potato soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
