Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Yummy

We love this recipe! The perfect way to use up leftover ham after the holidays. We love adding peas and corn to it.

Amazing!! The ham added just the right amount of saltiness. On another night I also made Turkey Corn Chowder. So yum!! I sautéed the onions and celery first and added diced carrot. I also added some other seasoning.

I'm dairy free so I've substituted the butter and milk for plant based versions. Milk mixture: I've added some fresh garlic and coriander in the roux . As well as some cayenne pepper and salt once I've added the milk. I used my immersion blender to roughly blend everything before I poured the milk mixture in. Once the it was in the pot I put some celery salt in which completely elevated the taste.

Customizable, yummy and easy!

Great basic potato soup. The base recipe is good as is but also takes any personal tweaks well.

Medium heat for roux. Can mash potatoes with masher to create a thicker soup too.

Combine potatoes, water, ham, celery, and onion in a stockpot. Bring to a boil; simmer over medium heat until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in chicken bouillon, pepper, and salt. Melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour; cook and stir until thick, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk; cook and stir until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour milk mixture into the stockpot; cook and stir until warmed through.
