Ham Broccoli Soup — Hearty and delicious, this soup is a perfect way to use that leftover ham!

I first tried this soup years ago at a church dinner. I loved it so much that I made sure to get the recipe. It is oh so yummy! My family doesn’t even like Swiss cheese, but they all love this broccoli soup. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to share the recipe.

The combination of flavors and textures in this broccoli soup is just amazing. Ham, swiss, and broccoli is such a delicious combo! I like to cook it till the broccoli is just barely tender, because I like a little crunch. I definitely recommend using fresh broccoli, frozen ends up a little mushy.

Serve it with some homemade oatmeal rolls and you have a hearty comforting meal.
If you have someone in your family with a gluten intolerance, this is a perfect soup. One of the only recipes I’ve seen for creamy soup that doesn’t have flour in it.

Ingredients

• 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 pounds chopped fresh broccoli
• 1 1/2 cups diced ham
• 3 cups milk
• 1 cup half & half cream
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

Cook potatoes in broth and salt for 15 minutes. Add broccoli and cook till crisp tender, 5-10 more minutes. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker soup, you can melt together 1/4 cup butter and flour in a small saucepan, then add to the soup after cooking the broccoli. Stir often while the soup is simmering.
