Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Ham and Potato Soup.
Step 1
To start your delicious soup, grab a large soup pot and toss in the diced potatoes, cauliflower, corn, cooked ham, onion, celery, and garlic.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to cover all those vibrant ingredients, then bring it to a lively boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to medium and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4
As the veggies soften, stir in the chicken bouillon, salt, and a dash of white pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
While your soup is cooking, let’s create a creamy base.
Step 6
In a separate saucepan, melt some butter over medium-low heat.
Step 7
Once it’s melted, whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste, cooking it for about a minute to get rid of that raw flour taste.
Step 8
Gradually add in the milk, whisking continuously until the mixture is silky and smooth.
Step 9
Keep cooking and stirring often until it thickens up nicely, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Pour that luscious milk mixture into your soup pot and stir until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 11
Let the soup simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes until it’s heated through and ready to serve.
Step 12
Enjoy the comforting aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare to savor each warm, hearty spoonful!.
