Prep Time 1 hour

Serves: 6

Difficulty Level: Low

Ingredients for Easy Ham and Potato Soup:

Ham - 7-8 oz (about 1 1/2 cup) (diced)

Chicken broth - 3 cups

Milk - 2 cups

Potato - 3 medium or 2 large (peeled and cubed)

Unsalted butter - 1/2 stick

All-Purpose flour - 1/3 cup

Frozen corn - 1/4 cup

Yellow onion - 1 medium (diced)

Celery - 1 stalk (chopped)

Garlic - 3 cloves (minced)

Kosher salt - 1 1/2 tsp. (divided)

Dried Thyme - 1/2 tsp.

Ground black pepper - 1/4 tsp.

Parsley - a handful (to garnish)

Method of preparing the Easy Ham and Potato Soup:

In a medium pot or a Dutch oven, melt the butter and cook the onions until soft and translucent on medium heat. Then add the dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the black pepper.
Add in the ham, the potatoes, frozen corn, and the remaining salt. Stir well, then sprinkle the flour over the ham and vegetable mixture, stirring constantly. Cook the flour for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw floury taste.
Continue stirring the vegetables while drizzling in the chicken broth and the milk. Switch the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a simmer.
Lower the heat so that the soup continues to simmer slightly. Cook for 20 minutes and stir occasionally, scraping the bottom to prevent burning. The soup will be ready when the potatoes are tender.
Serve this soup hot. Garnish with chopped parsley or any fresh herb of your choice. Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
