This broccoli, ham, and cheese soup is for when the weather is bitter and you crave serious, starchy comfort food. I put this together one night when I couldn't decide whether to make potato, ham, or broccoli-cheese soup. The result was a complete meal in a bowl.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 1 stalk celery, sliced

  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 4 cups chicken stock

  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley

  • ½ teaspoon ground thyme

  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 large egg

  • 4 cups milk

  • 2 cups diced cooked ham

  • 1 head broccoli, chopped

  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in hot butter until onion is translucent. Stir in potatoes, chicken stock, parsley, thyme, and cayenne pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, mix together flour and egg in a bowl using a fork until mixture resembles grains of rice.

  3. Stir milk and ham into the stockpot; bring to a simmer. Slowly sprinkle flour-egg mixture into soup, stirring constantly to prevent clumps. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Stir in broccoli and Cheddar cheese; cook until broccoli is tender and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
