- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups diced potatoes (about 3 large potatoes)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups diced ham
- 1 large carrot (chopped)
- 1 rib celery (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- black pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ cup sour cream
- salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Steps
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, diced ham, chopped carrot, sliced celery, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Using a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes in the pot, add half and half, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, stir into the soup, and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
