A quick, easy, hearthy, comfort soup for those cold winter days. A great way to use left over smoked ham. This is rich and creamy. If you like a thinner soup omit the dried potaoes. Which is how I started the soup but found it needed something more.That is where the dried potatoes come in. Serve as a main dish or a cup.Top with shredded cheese. Ingredients:
6 potatoes, diced small |
2 1/2 cups cooked smoked ham, diced small |
4 tablespoons butter |
5 leeks, white only sliced soaked to remove all the sand |
6 cups water |
3 cups shredded cheese |
1 cup heavy cream |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon dried parsley |
1 package of betty crockers sour cream & chives instant mashed potatoes |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large pot melt butter and saute leeks and ham till softened add the rest of the ingredients except for the Betty Crockers sour cream& chives mashed potatoes and cook till potatoes are soft 15-20 minutes stirring so cheese doesn`t stick.
2. Add the 1 package of potatoes and stir till nice and creamy.
3. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
