Delicious Ham and Potato Soup, This is a delicious recipe for ham and potato soup that a friend gave to me It is very easy and the great thing about it is that you can add additional ingredients, more ham, potatoes, etc and it still turns out great It’s a hearty, easy to do soup thats ready in about 45 minutes Perfect for using up leftover ham , Well THAT was delicious! I made some edits to suit my pantry; celery seed not celery, minced onion, whole wheat flour, 12 oz evaporated milk plus 4 oz water not milk, 1 tsp garlic bread seasoning, 2 bouillon cubes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese to serve It was thick and rich and wonderful Thanks for sharing and suggesting options , I think this is a good base for any creamy soup I made as is and it was just ok I added seasoning salt and white pepper When I was slicing the sheepherder bread to serve with dinner, I thought oh what about the garlic dip I added a dollop of that and magically it became just enough flavor It is a very filling and easy soup – I will however try it with hot sausage next time or add some Cajun seasoning

My Note: We Don't Care For Cooked Celery So use a Little Celery Seed . use This Recipe as a Base Also, With Many Variations , Such as -- No Meat at All , Italian Sausage & Extra Onion, (my Favorite), Diced Chicken Breast & (presteamed) Broccoli (my Grandkids' Favorite !)and Coming Soon .garlic, Chicken Breast, Baby Carrots, Frozen Corn,Green Beans and Coarsely Chopped Onion. Making the White Sauce Separately Really Added the Right Creaminess to the Potato/Ham & Veggie Mixture. used a Can of Chicken Broth For Part of the Liquid, as I Didn't Have Any Bullion. Also Threw in Some Shredded Carrots I Had on Hand, Plus 1/2 Cup Shredded Cheese to the White Sauce After It Had Thickened. Also, (to Disguise the Carrots), Added a Sprinkle of Cheese to Each Bowl Upon Serving. Very Creamy and Tasty. Maybe a Possibly of Adding Corn Next Time. |
