EASY AND DELICIOUS HAM AND POTATO SOUP
« on: March 07, 2019, 09:13:07 PM »
heres a very simple and delicious recipe for some ham, cauliflower and potato soup:



EASY AND DELICIOUS HAM AND POTATO SOUP


Prep - 20 min             Cook - 20 min             Ready In - 40 min


Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes          
1 cup diced cauliflower                
1 cup frozen corn                   
3/4 cup diced cooked ham                      
1/3 cup finely chopped onion             
1/3 cup diced celery                       
3 cloves garlic, diced                       
4 cups water, or as needed to cover
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk 


Directions:
1. Combine potatoes, cauliflower, corn, cooked ham, onion, celery, and garlic in a large soup pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir chicken bouillon, salt, and white pepper into mixture.

2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk in flour to make a paste. Cook for 1 minute and gradually whisk milk into flour mixture until smooth. Continue cooking until thick, 4 to 5 minutes, whisking often.

3. Stir milk mixture into soup and cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.

I actually used the ham bones from the green hams that I cured and smoked this last summer and made a ham stock and used that instead of the chix bouillon and water.

Nate, did you purée your celery? It almost looks like a paste.

yeah...so.....I HATE THE TEXTURE OF CELERY!!!!!

every time I make something and it calls for celery, I run it thru a tiny food processor/chopper and puree it. 

I want the flavor but not the texture!

Well this is geniusly simple! My wife severly dislikes celery, but loves the flavor.... so yea, I will now purée it. Thanks for this little info nugget!

I have always used one of the celery seeds or celery salts to get the flavor.

I also use it when I have to basically juice a white onion when making homemade tarter sauce
