Ham and Potato Soup (No milk or cream)

Submitted by Soup Fly

"This is a very easy potato soup that tastes creamy - but without any cream or milk. It's very versatile and can be made with a variety of veggies and meats - or is great with only potatoes. This is an adaptation of what a friend gave to me as a Weight Watchers recipe."

I have just tried this soup and it is amazing! I used real potatoes and added celery and onion. I will definitely be using this again.

I used the orida regular (little square) cubes. I doubled the batch because the potatoes are sold in 2 lb. bags. I have to say, I really enjoyed the taste of this soup. I followed the recipe exactly. I did though leave out the peas because of a co workers preference. I have several friends that re lactose intolerant and they couldn't believe it was milk/dairy free. I will be making this on a regular basis. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Very easy to make! I used regular potatoes cubed and boiled in the broth. I tripled the recipe and had no leftovers with 8 people!

This soup was very well received by my family. It was creamy even without the milk/cream. We had it as the main dish for dinner and it worked very well. It was very easy and fast to make which is always a plus in a busy schedule. I tried it once with the O'Brien style potatoes and once with the plain and the plain turned out much better. I added more ham than the recipe suggests because we like a lot of meat. Overall this was a great recipe that I'll definitely will make again.
