Hearty Ham Potato Soup 🥣🥔🍖
Warm, creamy, and satisfying — this Hearty Ham Potato Soup is pure comfort in a bowl! Loaded with tender potatoes, savory ham, and a rich, creamy broth, it’s the perfect way to cozy up on a chilly day.
**You’ll need:**
Diced ham, potatoes, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, butter, flour, chicken broth, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and thyme. Optional: shredded cheese and green onions for garnish.
**To make it:**
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic, and sauté until softened. Stir in flour to make a roux, cooking for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth.
Add diced potatoes and ham, season with salt, pepper, and thyme, then bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender and the soup thickens — about 20–25 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve warm with a sprinkle of cheese and green onions if desired. Creamy, hearty, and oh-so comforting!
