How to Make Potato Ham And Leek Soup
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 cups of sliced leeks and 1 cup of diced leftover smoked ham. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 6 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of peeled and diced potatoes, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream or milk (for a lighter soup) and 1/2 cup of cooked, crumbled dried potatoes (optional, for extra thickness).
- Season with salt to taste. If the soup is too thick, add more broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup per bowl). Serve immediately.
