You can by a nice slab of smoked ham from your deli counter for this soup or what better way to use up leftover ham than to use it in a soup or in a meal your family can enjoy the next day?

We always have leftover ham it seems so we store it in freezer bags for soups, we add it to potato dishes and sauteed vegetables. We make it a point to buy extra large hams when we make them on holidays or for family get togethers so we have leftovers to freeze. Believe me leftovers come in handy for so many things.

This soup is just the right amount of thickness and chunks of ham and vegetables to round out the meal. This soup does eat like a meal.. that is one of the things we love about it. Serve it with some crusty bread and you good to go!

Your going to make a roux to make this soup. It is easy to make and can be used in so many recipes. It is the base of any cheese sauce and is what makes this soup creamy and luscious.

Ham and Potato Soup simmers away on the stove, easily taking care of itself, turning into a delicious hearty meal. We suggest having all of your veggies and ham cut up before you start. Place all your ingredients on your counter you will be needing. This is always a good practice when your cooking. It makes things so much easier.

Can you add other vegetables to this creamy ham and potato soup?

For sure. The more veggies, the better. Just decide what ones you’re wanting to add and then make it happen. Just make certain that you’re adding in ones that will cook well and taste good with the other soup ingredients.

Do you peel the potatoes for this creamy ham and potato soup recipe?

We actually didn’t. We just washed them really, really well and chopped them into smaller pieces. A lot of nutrients are actually located in the potato skins so leaving them on seems like a good idea.

Although, if you’re really against leaving the skin on, you just need to peel them and chop them up and add to your soup. And be careful when you’re stirring because as the potatoes cook without a peel, they’re going to become soft and might start to turn into mush. We like the hearty chunkiness of the veggies.
