Here's a soup that you can get a lot of mileage out of just by switching up and adding or increasing one ingredient..Today was Ham and Potato, but it could just have well been Potato Bacon, Leek and Potato, Potato Garlic, or just plain Potato.
1 Onion
1 Leek Sliced
Garlic
Celery
Carrot(optional)
Chopped Potatoes
Thyme or Dill, Black Pepper
White Flour (for slurry)
Stock, or water with powdered soup base
Whole milk or cream..
Place all chopped ingredients in the pot and cover with about 2 parts stock or water/ soup base.. bring to a boil, turn down and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or when potatoes start to soften. Check your seasonings then slowly add your slurry of water while whisking until you reach the thickness you desire..continue to slowly simmer for a 2-3 minutes to cook the flour, then reduce the heat..after a couple of minutes start to stir in your milk or cream. adjust your seasonings. Turn down very low for another 5 or 10 and she's ready to go..
