Mom’s Creamy Potato & Ham Soup
It all starts with some of those veggies I was talking about. Like most of my soup recipes, I like to saute the onion, celery, and garlic a bit to bring out all the flavor.
TIP: I cut up the carrots and potatoes into uniform chunks (1 inch or so) that way they cook evenly and quickly.
