Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup image

Comfort soup at its finest! I usually make this to use up leftover ham. This is easy to adapt with other ingredients. I don't put celery in mine. I have added garlic sometimes as well.

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).

I'm allergic to dairy. Can I substitute another cheese?

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and that helped a lot.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I added some extra milk to thin it out.
