~ Potato, Ham & Bean Soup ~ image

Another hearty Potato soup I created this afternoon. The family thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you do as well. The slight tang of the sour cream and cheese gave it awesome flavor. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 Tbsp butter
1 c each - slivered or shredded carrots and chopped onion
1/2 c sliced celery
2 Tbsp chunky garlic paste or minced garlic
3 - 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 Tbsp parsley paste or chopped parsley
salt & pepper - to taste
dried thyme - 1/2 tsp - optional
2 - 15.5 oz cans, great northern beans, drained and rinsed. - smash up one can of beans with potato masher
48 oz chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp better than buillion chicken flavored paste - or dried buillion
1 1/2 Tbsp flour
1 c sour cream
3/4 c heavy cream
4 - 6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 c cubed, cooked ham

Steps:

  • 1. In a dutch oven, over medium heat - melt butter. To this add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Salt and pepper. Cook and stir until veggies are beginning to become tender.
  • 2. Once veggies are cooked, add the broth, bullion, potatoes, thyme if using and parsley. Bring to a boil and then simmer until potatoes are tender. ( About 25 minutes.)
  • 3. Smash 1 can of beans with potato masher and set aside.
  • 4. Once potatoes are tender, stir in whole and smashed beans. Stir. Continue simmering, another 5 minutes. Add ham and stir.
  • 5. Mix together the sour cream, cream, and flour.
  • 6. Stir this mixture into the potato mixture and then add the cheese, stir until melted. I then took my potato masher and twice smashed down the soup mixture, just enough to smash some of the potatoes. You can skip this part, just makes the soup a little thicker.
  • 7. Now, taste soup and adjust salt and pepper accordingly.
  • 8. Serve in individual bowls and add some shredded cheese if desired.

This was a great soup! It was easy to make and it tasted delicious. I especially liked the addition of the beans, which added a nice touch of protein and fiber. I'll definitely be making this soup again in the future.

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfectly. The ham and beans are so tender and flavorful, and the potatoes are cooked to perfection. The broth is also really flavorful, thanks to the addition of the herbs

I was really excited to try this soup, but I was disappointed. The broth was bland and the ham was tough. I ended up adding a lot of salt and pepper to try to improve the flavor, but it didn't help much. I won't be making this soup again.

Meh, this soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the ham was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll stick to my own potato soup recipe in the future.

This was a great recipe. I'm not a huge fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this soup. The beans and potatoes were cooked perfectly, and the broth was flavorful and savory. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I like to add a little bit of spice to mine, with some cayenne pepper or chili powder. It's also great for leftovers, which is always a plus.

This soup was incredibly hearty and flavorful. I made it with a few extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, and it was even better than I expected. The ham and beans added a great depth of flavor, and the potatoes made it nice and thick and creamy
