5 (14 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
8 medium potatoes, cubed
2 stalks celery, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
1 medium white onion, diced
1/2 lb smoked ham, chopped ((if you meat has a casing or tough edge, remove))

Steps:

  • In a sauce pan melt butter and add onion, celery and carrots and saute until tender, about 10-15 minutes depending on how fine you chopped your veggies.
  • When the potatoes are done add the ham, canadian bacon, celery, carrot and onion mixture with butter to the broth.
  • Reduce heat to medium and when the soup is NOT boiling.
  • Slowly add the Heavy Cream (you do not have to use the entire quart) just enough to made it creamy.

  • Blend until smooth then return to soup to thicken.
