Potato Soup - How to make Ham and Potato Soup

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a large pot.

Add 1 cup of yellow onion, 1 cup of celery, 1 cup of carrots, and 5 cloves of garlic; cook until vegetables begin to sweat, about 5 minutes.

Add 1/2 lb of cubed ham and cook for another 5 minutes.

Stir in 1/2 cup of flour until incorporated.

Add 1 tablespoon of chicken base and stir.

Pour in 1 quart of water and add 8 diced potatoes.

Season with 2 teaspoons of black pepper; do not add additional salt due to the ham and chicken base.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

After 20 minutes, add 2 cups of milk (or heavy cream if preferred) and stir.

Bring it back up to a simmer and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
