CREAMY POTATO CAULIFLOWER AND HAM SOUP



Creamy Potato Cauliflower and Ham Soup image

I have a potato soup recipe I love, but I wanted it to be a little less heavy on the carbs (not carb free, but just less). I decided to add cauliflower to replace some of the potatoes, and we couldn't really tell- plus it tasted great. I don't really measure my spices, so do it to your taste.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups chopped cauliflower
3 cups diced potatoes
6 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
2 cups carrots, chopped and steamed
2 cups diced cooked turkey ham
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
white pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Bring water to a boil and add potatoes, cauliflower, and chicken bullion. Reduce heat to medium high and cook until very tender, at least 20 minutes.
  • 2. Carefully transfer to a blender or food process, or use an immersion blender. Blend in batches, and return soup to the pot.
  • 3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt in cream cheese. Season and add garlic.
  • 4. Add carrots and ham. Cook till ham and carrots are warmed through.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include Yukon Gold, Russet, and Red potatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many potatoes to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Add them in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender. This will take about 15-20 minutes. You can check to see if they are done by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, they are done.
  • Use a good quality ham. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a ham that is smoked and has a good amount of fat.
  • Don't boil the soup. Bring it to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. This will help to prevent the soup from becoming too thick.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings as desired.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or grated cheese. This will add a pop of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Creamy Ham and Potato Soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy ham and potato soup that your family and friends will love.
