Turn leftover ham into the most comforting soup | Ham and Potato Soup

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Defrost vacuum-sealed ham by placing it in a tray with warm water for about 10 minutes.

Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot.

Add diced onion and celery to the pot, along with minced garlic; stir and cook for about 3 minutes until softened.

Add diced ham and diced potatoes to the pot.

Season with salt, black pepper, ground fennel, and chicken bouillon powder; add a bay leaf.

Pour in equal parts chicken broth and water; stir and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat and allow to simmer until potatoes are soft.

Crush some of the softened potatoes and add them back to the broth to thicken the soup.

Add a little bit of milk to the soup for richness; stir and let it simmer until it thickens to desired consistency.

Turn off the heat and finish with fresh parsley before serving.
