How to Make Best Ever Potato Soup
- In a large (6-quart) soup pot, combine 8 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of ham base, 1 pound of diced ham, 1 cup of diced carrots, 1 cup of diced celery, and 1 medium onion, chopped.
- Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 2 pounds of peeled and cubed potatoes. Cook until tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk and 4 ounces of cream cheese spread.
- Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is completely melted and smooth (about 5 minutes).
- Stir the cream cheese mixture into the potato soup.
- If desired, create a slurry by whisking together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Gradually whisk the slurry into the soup until it reaches your desired thickness.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
