Potato Ham Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Sharing my Potato Ham Broccoli Cheddar Soup to take the chill off of a cold, cold day.
We had our first big snow today and all I could think about was making soup.

The temperature was 14 degrees with wind chill factor making it feel like 6 degrees.  I made a smaller recipe of Potato Ham Broccoli Cheddar Soup  since  my husband does not usually like soups that have cheese in them.

He agreed this one tasted delicious and was not too rich.

HOW TO MAKE THIS SOUP:

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cups potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/2 inch cubes
• 1/2 cup onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup celery, chopped
• 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 1 cup half and half
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 cup ham, cubes from a package
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Place  potatoes, onions, and celery in a dutch oven.
Season with salt and pepper. Add just enough water to cover the  vegetables.

Bring to a boil, lower heat to simmer on medium, until potatoes are tender.

Add broccoli florets. Simmer on low heat for 2 minutes.

Stir in half and half. Simmer about 3 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently. Whisk  together the butter and flour in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the broth from soup. Whisk until smooth and stir mixture back into the soup.  Add the ham and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. (If soup is too thick, add a little more half and half)

Stir in the cheese until blended. Remove from heat. Adjust seasonings if needed adding more salt or pepper.

This soup can be served with any kind of sandwich, artisan bread, crackers, or rolls.
