Potato Soup & Ham




I have made this soup for over 57 years!  It's a keeper.  Raised my kids on it...grandkids and now, our great grandchildren.
Hope you enjoy it...add or subtract things to make it your own!

Small bag of Red (New) Potatoes
1/2 stick of butter
5 or 6 slices Ham (your preference)
2-4 cups milk
1 Cup Heavy Cream

Dice up the potatoes
Cook until tender
Pour off all the water except about a fourth of it.
Add in butter, chopped up ham and anything else you'd like.
Add in milk and cream....
bring to a slow boil.  Too thin?  add potato flakes.
Too thick?  add more milk or cream.

Hope you enjoy this meal!  We certainly do!

Great to see soup here. I love me some soup and I love that you have a go-to. That's the best. That's how I feel about my mom's mac and cheese only now, I make it without dairy however the same idea. She's made that forever as well and I love me a dish that's lasted a lifetime. Happy Eating. Cheers, Ivy

Now that’s the kind of recipe you hold onto. Fifty-seven years says more than any fancy cookbook ever could. You just know it’s been made around a full table, with plenty of stories and second helpings.
There’s something comforting about a simple potato soup like this no fuss, just good, honest food that brings people together. I like that you’ve left room for folks to make it their own too, that’s how the best family recipes carry on. Thank you for sharing a real classic.

That’s the kind of recipe that becomes part of a family’s story, not just a meal. A soup loved for over 57 years and shared through generations says everything about how comforting and special it must be. I really love the “make it your own” spirit too — those are always the best recipes because they bring people together in their own way.
