How to Make Potato And Country Ham Soup
- In a large stock pot (6-quart), add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 1 cup diced country ham. Cook over medium heat until onions and ham are tender and slightly caramelized (about 8-10 minutes).
- Add 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the flour is cooked and the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Pour in 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option) and bring to a boil.
- Add 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cubed) and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup milk or cream, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, and salt to taste.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) before serving.
