Ingredients:
To make this delicious soup, you’ll need:
- 8 cups russet potatoes, diced – Potatoes are the base of this dish, providing a hearty texture and acting as the main filler in the soup.
- 1 yellow onion, diced – The onion adds a savory sweetness and enhances the overall depth of flavor.
- 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped – Carrots bring a slight sweetness and color to the soup, balancing the savory ingredients.
- 1/2 cup chopped celery – Celery adds a mild, refreshing crunch and contributes to the overall vegetable base of the soup.
- 16 ounces cubed Smithfield Anytime Favorites™ Ham (two packages) – The ham is the star protein, offering a rich, salty flavor that complements the creamy base.
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt – Salt is essential to bring out the natural flavors of all the ingredients.
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper – Black pepper adds a slight kick and enhances the savory profile of the soup.
- 1/4 cup flour – This will help thicken the soup and make it creamy, ensuring a smooth texture.
- 4 cups chicken broth – The broth serves as the flavorful liquid base of the soup. It adds depth and moisture while simmering the ingredients.
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (or whole milk, if preferred) – The heavy cream gives the soup its signature richness and smooth, velvety texture.
- 1/2 cup sour cream – Adds a tangy creaminess that balances the richness of the heavy cream and thickens the soup further.
