Creamy Potato Soup With Ham Recipe

Potato soup is a comforting and versatile dish. It can be light enough for a lunch with a sandwich or hearty enough for a main dish along with a salad and crusty bread or biscuits. Top this flavorful soup with a tablespoon or two of shredded cheese, sliced green onions, or chopped fresh parsley. This version of soup calls for diced cooked ham, but the ham may be replaced with diced and browned smoked sausage or crumbled browned mild italian sausage or a similar ground sausage.
