Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced celery, and diced carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.
- Sprinkle ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the diced potatoes, dried thyme, bouillon cube, salt and pepper to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Stir in the 2 cups of diced cooked ham. Let the soup cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the ham through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half. Heat the soup until it's warmed through, but do not let it boil.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes
- Brown the ham in a skillet first for a deeper savory kick.
- Use a potato masher on some of the cooked potatoes if you love a thicker soup texture.
- Add a little splash of water or broth when reheating so it doesn’t get too thick.
