This is a simple and delicious soup to make for one of those cold fall days. The leeks and sweet potatoes make it a bit sweet, and they mix perfectly with the ham. You can serve immediately or let simmer for a few minutes. Ingredients:
4 cups chicken broth |
3 large yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed |
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked ham |
4 leeks, chopped |
1 cup half-and-half |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add Yukon gold and sweet potatoes, bring back to a boil, and turn heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add leeks; cook and stir until leeks are soft, about 5-10 minutes. Do not allow the leeks to brown.
3. Stir leek and ham mixture into potatoes and broth. Add half-and-half; season to taste with salt and ground black pepper.
