Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato soup because they are starchy and will thicken the soup nicely. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes or red potatoes, but they will not be as thick.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the soup gluey.
  • Use a good quality ham: The ham is the star of the show in this soup, so make sure you use a good quality ham. Look for a ham that is smoked and fully cooked.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onion add flavor and texture to the soup. You can also add other vegetables like peas, corn, or green beans.
  • Season the soup well: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot: Potato soup is best served hot. You can garnish the soup with chopped parsley, chives, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Potato soup with ham is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. This soup is perfect for a cold winter day or a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will love.
