Why I Love This Recipe
This Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup is super comforting and creamy! It’s packed with tender potatoes, smoky ham, and lots of cheesy goodness. Perfect for chilly days!
Ingredients You'll Need
4 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
1 cup diced ham (cooked)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup diced celery
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional garnish: extra shredded cheese and chopped parsley
Directions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery, diced carrots, and half of the chopped green onions. Sauté these for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften and smell great.
Now, stir in the diced potatoes along with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook this mixture for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Sprinkle the flour over the veggie mixture. Stir it in well to coat everything. You’ll want to let it cook for an additional minute to get rid of that raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid any lumps. Bring the soup to a boil—then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are nice and tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the milk and diced ham. Allow this to heat through for about 5 minutes, stirring gently.
Now it’s time for the star of the show! Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the pot and stir until it’s melted and combined into the soup. Yum!
Give the soup a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick for your liking, feel free to add a little more milk or broth to reach your preferred consistency. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining chopped green onions and a sprinkle of extra cheese, if you’d like. Enjoy your delicious, cheesy ham and potato soup!
