This soup is the best of both worlds. If you love broccoli cheese soup and cream of ham and potato, you’ll love this.

This soup is a combination of cream of ham and potato and broccoli cheese soup.

It’s Soup Weather

In the winter, my thoughts turn to soup for dinner since it’s a warm bowl of comfort on cold days.

This ham and broccoli cheese soup fills the comfort bill many times over. It combines two of my favorite cream soups–cream of broccoli cheese and cream of ham and potato. Another good thing about this soup is it uses up bits and pieces you may already have on hand already. I used up the last of my New Years ham, the remains of a bag of chopped broccoli and that bit of shredded cheddar I had in the deli drawer.

Have A Souper Super Bowl

As many of us are aware, the Super Bowl is right around the corner and if you’re having a little party you’re thinking of food for that.

In addition to that big crockpot full of chili, why not have a big crockpot full of this soup as well? Even though this ham and broccoli cheese soup isn’t made in the slow cooker, you can use the cooker as a buffet server because of the warm setting. It offers another choice for those who are not fans of chili.

It’s Easy Too

The surprising part of this soup is how quick and easy it is. There’s no “all-day” cooking involved here. From start to finish it should only take about 30 minutes. But don’t let that on to anyone who raves about the great flavor. Let that be your secret!

I always use heavy cream in my cream soups because it tastes wonderful and an old chef friend once told me that heavy cream is a must in a cream soup. That may sound redundant, but I got what he meant. You don’t need much and it’s worth it. Honest!

I like cream soups pretty thick, but if you don’t, omit the thickening.

    Love soup in the winter! I’m going to make this One thing missing in the directions is when to add in the ham. I think it can be added at any time, but I would put it in with the potatoes and broccoli to have the ham flavor well incorporated.
