Potato, Ham, Broccoli and Cheese Soup with Baby Dumplings image

This is a soup for when the weather is bitter and you crave serious, starchy comfort food. I put this together one night when I couldn't decide whether to make potato, ham, or broccoli-cheese soup - the result is a complete meal in a bowl.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup butter
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken stock
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground thyme
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups diced cooked ham
4 cups milk
1 head broccoli, chopped
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a large stock pot over medium heat. Cook and stir celery, onion, carrot, and garlic until the onion is translucent. Stir in potatoes, chicken stock, cayenne, thyme, and parsley. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Mix egg and flour together in a bowl using a fork until the mixture resembles grains of rice.
  • Stir ham and milk into the stock pot and allow the soup to return to a simmer. Slowly sprinkle the flour mixture into the soup, stirring constantly to prevent clumps. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in broccoli and Cheddar cheese. Cook until the broccoli is tender and the Cheddar cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

I thought this soup was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste, and the dumplings were a bit too doughy.

This soup was amazing! I loved the creamy texture and the flavor was perfect. The dumplings were a great addition and added a nice texture to the soup.

The dumplings were a bit too dense for my taste, but otherwise this soup was delicious. I would definitely make it again, but I would use a different dumpling recipe.

This soup is easy to make and perfect for a weeknight meal. I used pre-cooked ham and frozen broccoli, which made it even quicker to prepare.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli, but I loved it in this soup. The cheese and ham helped to balance out the bitterness of the broccoli, and the dumplings added a nice texture.
