Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups diced cooked ham
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
  • Green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, garlic, celery, and carrots, sautéing until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, then slowly whisk in chicken broth.
  3. Add diced potatoes, cooked ham, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in milk or heavy cream and let it heat through. If using sour cream, stir it in now.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings like cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and parsley.

Notes

  • You can substitute ham with bacon or sausage.
  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the milk or cream.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace ham with smoked tofu and use vegetable broth.
