Potato & Leek Soup with Leek & Garlic Seasoning
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces diced ham
- 3 tablespoons Leek & Garlic Seasoning
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 4 red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water (for mixing cornstarch)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions:
- In a large soup pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add Leek & Garlic Seasoning and chopped celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the celery begins to soften and the seasonings are fragrant.
- Add diced ham, cubed potatoes, chicken broth, and 2 cups of water. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over medium heat until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the evaporated milk.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Stir into the soup and continue cooking until the soup thickens to your liking.
- Stir in the fresh parsley, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with shredded cheese or crispy bacon bits for added richness.
- Serve alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
- Great as a leftover—flavors develop even more after a day in the fridge!
