Another hearty Potato soup I created this afternoon. The family thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you do as well. The slight tang of the sour cream and cheese gave it awesome flavor. Enjoy!

How To Make ~ potato, ham & bean soup ~

  • 1
    In a dutch oven, over medium heat - melt butter. To this add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Salt and pepper. Cook and stir until veggies are beginning to become tender.
  • 2
    Once veggies are cooked, add the broth, bullion, potatoes, thyme if using and parsley. Bring to a boil and then simmer until potatoes are tender. ( About 25 minutes.)
  • 3
    Smash 1 can of beans with potato masher and set aside.
  • 4
    Once potatoes are tender, stir in whole and smashed beans. Stir. Continue simmering, another 5 minutes. Add ham and stir.
  • 5
    Mix together the sour cream, cream, and flour.
  • 6
    Stir this mixture into the potato mixture and then add the cheese, stir until melted. I then took my potato masher and twice smashed down the soup mixture, just enough to smash some of the potatoes. You can skip this part, just makes the soup a little thicker.
  • 7
    Now, taste soup and adjust salt and pepper accordingly.
  • 8
    Serve in individual bowls and add some shredded cheese if desired.
