I just added it to my recipe book, so here you go:
Hearty Ham and Potato Soup
5 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 10-3/4-oz. can cream of potato soup
1 10-3/4-oz. can cream of celery soup
6 cups milk, divided
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 stalk chopped celery
4 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. flour
1-1/4 cups diced ham
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 to 3/4 tsp. salt
1-1/4 tsp. dried parsley
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Boil potatoes in medium saucepan and cook just until fork tender; drain and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the cream of potato and cream of celery soups with 4 cups milk; mix well and set aside. Using a large pan over medium-low heat, sauté carrots and onions in butter until tender. Remove vegetables, leaving butter in pan. Over medium-low heat, add flour to butter; mix well and allow to cook 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add remaining 2 cups milk, stirring constantly until sauce becomes thick and bubbly; reduce heat to low. To the sauce, add the soup and milk mixture, potatoes, carrots, onions, ham, salt, pepper and dried parsley. Stirring often, simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or until soup is hot and ready to serve. Garnish with shredded cheese before serving if desired. Note: More milk can be added to taste if a thinner soup is
desired.
** I also added seasoning salt & garlic powder.
Okay so we don't have to re-share, I should have kept on scrolling. Sounds yummy. I'm Irish so potatoes and I get along really well. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
