What Type of Ham to Use

I love to make this soup when I have leftover ham from my Southern Baked Ham with Pineapple recipe. My favorite way to make it using the leftover meaty ham bone, perfect for slow cooking! The meat will literally fall off the bone and into your soup.

You can also purchase cooked, diced ham cubes or Country ham to use in the recipe.

What Type of Potatoes to Use

You can use any potatoes you like. I always have russet potatoes on hand at home. That’s what I used. You can also use red potatoes, Yukon gold, etc. The cook time will stay within the range noted in the recipe. Keep a close eye and cook the potatoes until soft.

You can peel the potatoes or leave the skin on. The skin is loaded with so many nutrients.

What Type of Vegetables to Use

I like to use a mirepoix, which is a common base for stews and soups. It’s a blend of finely diced celery, onions, and carrots cooked in oil (sometimes butter) for aromatics and to add flavor. Save yourself some time and grab the Trader Joe’s mirepoix.

From here you can add any additional veggies you like. Here are more ideas:

  • Broccoli
  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Cauliflower
  • Snap Peas
  • Green Beans
  • Corn Tomatoes
diced white potatoes, chopped veggies, broth, and spices in separate bowls

How to Thicken the Soup

I don’t find it necessary to thicken the soup, since it’s made with thick potatoes. If you wish, you can create a cornstarch slurry. Use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and combine it with two tablespoons of the cooked soup. Mix the two together separately, and add it back to the soup. Stir. The soup will thicken the longer it stands.

How to Make it Creamy

You can add 1/2 cup of heavy cream along with 1/2 cup of any milk or 1 cup of any milk to the soup after it has finished in the slow cooker.

How to Store/How Long it Will Last in the Fridge

Store the soup in the fridge, tightly sealed for 3-4 days.

Freezer Tips

You can freeze the soup for up to 2-3 months. I love to use these Souper Cube soup molds to freeze leftovers.

This was a delicious way to use up ham and lots of veggies! I added the ham bone and some heavy cream per Brandi’s suggestions in the notes. Simple, healthy meal idea for post holidays!
