Ham and Potato Soup (In A Soup Maker)

Ham and Potato Soup in a soup maker needs very few ingredients and is the perfect way to use up any leftover ham, especially after slow cooking a gammon joint.

What You Need

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

Ham – I tend to use leftover gammon but you can also use any other cooked ham. I find that chunky ham works better than the thinner variety.

Potatoes – I usually use Maris Pipers, peeled and chopped into small chunks. Other varieties will work too.

Onion – I use one onion, chopped, you could also use frozen onion.

Dried Herbs – dried thyme works well with this soup, or you could use a dried mixed herb blend.

Stock – you may have saved some gammon stock from when you cooked it, if not you can use a vegetable stock pot, cube or powder. I add the stock powder directly to the soup maker and then add hot water up to the maximum line.

Side Note: If you are using gammon it might already have quite a high salt content (depending on the type you bought and how you prepped/cooked it) so consider this before adding in any extra seasoning. Leave it until the end and do a taste test before adding salt.

Making It

There isn’t much to the process of making this soup other than adding everything to the soup maker jug. I like to set this soup off on the chunky setting.

At the end I do a quick blend burst – only for a few seconds – to change up the consistency a little bit.
