Got Ham?
March 24, 2008 |
Are you overwhelmed with Easter Ham? Here is a quick and easy potato & ham soup recipe.
5 pounds of potatoes, peeled and quartered (if you are using red potatoes you can keep the skin on if you like potato skin in your soup).
1 onion diced
Boil potatoes and onion for about twenty minutes.
Drain (but save the water)
Put the potatoes and onion back on the stove top and add about 2 cups of the potato water back into the pot
Add 1 stick of butter
Mash the potatoes to the desired consistency. The more you mash the smoother the soup will be.
Add chopped ham and salt and pepper to taste.
Then add milk, until you reach the desired consistency.
Cook on the stove for about 10 minutes and then serve.
Garnish with cheese.
Don’t throw away the extra potato water, use it instead of water to bake your next loaf of bread. Your loaf will be amazing!
This is not the bread pictured with the soup, this is our potato bread for French toast.
The bread pictured with the soup is whole wheat rosemary asiago bread. I will try and get the recipe up later this week. It was delish!

I’ve never made mashed potato soup before. That looks easy and good. I think I would be tempted to throw a couple cups of cheese in with it though!
