Cooking Time: 30 mins
Ingredients:
⅓ c butter
1 diced red onion
4 cloves garlic
3 c golden potatoes (peeled and chopped)
2 large carrots sliced
⅓ c gluten free flour
½ c frozen kale
1 ½ c diced ham
2 cups chicken stock
1 c heavy cream
1 c milk
1 t salt
1 t pepper
Steps:
- In a large stock pot melt the butter, then add the red onion, and the garlic saute for 4 minutes.
- Add the ham, potatoes, carrots and flour and cook on medium high heat for two additional minutes.
- Next, deglaze the pan by adding the chicken stock ensuring that you scrape the bottom of the pan to release all of the flavor. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently until the potatoes are fork tender (about 8-10 minutes).
- Lastly, turn down the heat to low, then slowly incorporate the heavy cream milk and frozen kal. Simmer for 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Enjoy!
A quick word on pans, a dutch oven makes an excellent soup pan as it really builds flavor in those initial steps when you are sauteing the onions and garlic. That brown base that is built up on the pan brings more depth to the base of the soup. You can also make a lovely gluten free crusty bread using a dutch oven as well.
