Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 large carrot peeled and diced
- 2 talks celery diced
- 2 large garlic grated or minced (about 2 teaspoons, cloves
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 cups potato cut into ½-inch dice (I used 2 russet potatoes, peeled
- 2 cups ham cooked, diced
- 2 cups half-and-half at room temperature
- thyme optional garnish: chopped fresh thyme or chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the onion, carrots, and celery; saute until tender, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, flour, thyme, salt, and pepper until blended. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Gradually add the broth, bay leaf, and potatoes. Bring to a boil; then reduce the heat so that the broth is at a gentle boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Reduce the heat to low; add the ham and half-and-half. Stir just until warmed through (do not boil). Discard the bay leaf. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve!
Notes
- If you have leftover honey baked ham, pineapple ham, or glazed ham, the sweet and smoky flavor of the meat is delicious in the savory soup. If you don't have leftovers, store-bought diced ham or ham steaks will work fine.
- Taste and season as you go. The total amount of salt necessary will vary depending on the saltiness of your broth and ham, and on personal preference. Add extra salt for more flavor, and feel free to increase the other herbs and seasonings as well.
