Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
- 2 cups Cooked ham, diced
- 5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 more minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 3
Stir in the diced potatoes, carrots, and celery. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Add the diced ham and chicken broth to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and all-purpose flour until no lumps remain. Gradually pour this mixture into the soup, stirring constantly to avoid clumps.
Step 7
Pour in the whole milk and stir well. Season the soup with salt and ground black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary. If using, stir in chopped fresh parsley for added brightness.
Step 9
Serve the soup hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers. Enjoy!
