FAVORITE BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP WITH HAM & POTATO!

Steps:

• Pre-chop and measure out all ingredients to have them ready.
• In stock pot, melt butter.
• Sauté onions, celery, carrots until soft. Add in broccoli, stirring until it is partially cooked. (Maybe 5 minutes.) Add ham cubes, garlic and thyme. Stir and sauté a few minutes more.
• Sprinkle in flour and whisk in 1 cup of the chicken stock and all the heavy cream.
• Add remaining 3 cups of chicken stock, stir 'til blended.
• Add potato cubes. Simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes and broccoli are tender.
• At this point I remove about 2 cups of the vegetables and set them aside while I blend the soup remaining in the pot using an immersion stick blender until it thickens up a bit. Return the (removed) vegetables/ham to the soup pot.
• Add cheeses, stirring until melted.
• Add salt & pepper to taste and the nutmeg, if desired. (It adds more richness!)
• Serve topped with extra shredded cheese and enjoy with a slice of crusty bread, crackers, croutons, or in a bread bowl along with a nice tossed salad! (Instead of ham, it's delicious with leftover rotisserie chicken!)
