Sweet Potato, Potato, Leek, and Ham Soup

Read Review (1)

"This is a simple and delicious soup to make for one of those cold fall days. The leeks and sweet potatoes make it a bit sweet, and they mix perfectly with the ham. You can serve immediately or let simmer for a few minutes." — KirstenF

Directions

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add Yukon gold and sweet potatoes, bring back to a boil, and turn heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add leeks; cook and stir until leeks are soft, about 5-10 minutes. Do not allow the leeks to brown.
Stir leek and ham mixture into potatoes and broth. Add half-and-half; season to taste with salt and ground black pepper.

Footnotes

Cook's Note:
If you would like the soup to be a little thicker, you can add a couple tablespoons of flour to it. Mix well and let simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

I like to add a little more flavor than salt & pepper. So I added a mix of spices. I garnished it with sharp cheddar and tarragon.
