Ham and Potato Soup

Recipe Description

This Ham and Potato Soup is wholesome goodness in a bowl. I adore this comfort food as it combines two of my favorite things – soft, fluffy potatoes and salty ham. I love to make a big batch of this soup when I have leftover cooked ham. It’s a great way to use up leftovers and tastes delicious too.

Sauté onion, carrots and celery in melted butter. Add potatoes and ham followed by garlic and flour to thicken the soup. Pour in stock and bouillon and bring the soup to a boil. Pour in milk and stir until the soup thickens. Season and serve.

To make the Ham and Potato Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

Ham was really slimy and kinda gross, decided to leave the meat out the second time making this and it was still really good without it!

Very easy and fast to make, actually one of the fastest homemade not from the box soups I've ever cooked.

Ate it cold and it was super yummy nonetheless, going to say that you should probably add cheese though and a little sourcream, really good.

Added some adobe spice in this to flavor it up a bit and a drop of hot sauce, was reallly good, if you like a kick I recommend doing the same.
