Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

This soup is packed with nutrients that support heart health, like potassium from potatoes and lean protein from ham. It’s warm, comforting, and easy to make, making it perfect for a healthy meal any day of the week.

Helpful Tips For Cooking

- Use low-sodium broth to keep the soup heart-friendly.
- Dice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor without extra salt.

Directions

Gently heat water in a large pot over high heat. Once it’s hot, add the potatoes, turkey ham, onion, beans, carrots, celery, frozen corn, cream-style corn, dill, salt, and black pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low. Let it simmer gently, stirring now and then, until the potatoes are soft and the soup thickens a bit—this usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half. When the soup is ready, take the pot off the heat and stir in the milk until it’s fully mixed in and the soup feels nice and creamy. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Style Ideas

Serve this soup with a side of whole-grain bread or a simple green salad. A sprinkle of grated cheese or a dollop of plain yogurt can add creaminess and extra taste without overpowering the dish.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little water or broth if the soup has thickened too much. This soup also freezes well for up to 2 months.
