Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 slices thick slab bacon
2 cups ham
1 medium yellow onion
2 garlic cloves
2 stalks celery
2 medium carrots
3 cups yellow potatoes (about 4 small)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons chicken base
1 quart water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups ripped up Baby Spinach

Steps:

  • Dice the bacon and ham into large pieces. Set ham aside.
  • Brown the bacon and remove from pan.
  • Chop celery and carrots and add to bacon grease, cook 5 minutes.
  • Chop onion, garlic, and potatoes (1/4 inch dice) and add, along with the reserved ham, to carrots and celery. Cook an additional 5 minutes, just to brown the ham and potatoes slightly.
  • Drain any remaining grease from the vegetable/ham mixture and move to a Dutch oven.
  • Add rosemary, thyme, chicken base, water, and salt (to taste).
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are just barely done.
  • Add heavy cream and simmer 5 minutes, until potatoes are completely cooked.
  • Turn off heat, toss in spinach and stir until spinach is wilted.
  • Serve with your favorite garlic breadsticks.
