Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Bone Broth
  • 2 cups Milk Whole milk for creamier texture, skim for lowfat
  • 1/2 Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup Flour All purpose
  • 3 slices Bacon chopped
  • 1.5 pounds Potatoes chopped small
  • 1 cup Corn fresh or canned
  • 2 cups Cooked Ham
  • 1 tsp Salt more or less to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Begin by frying the bacon in a large pot. When it is finished, remove the bacon and set it aside on a plate to add back in later. 
    In the pot of bacon grease, add your chopped onions and sauté until tender, about 5 mins. Add in your garlic and sauté until fragrant - be sure to not let the garlic burn.
    Add 1/4 cup of flour to the pot and sauté for one min, stirring constantly. 
  • Add bone broth and milk to the pot, followed by the potatoes. Allow soup to come almost to a boil. Once it reaches a heavy simmer reduce the heat to medium low and cover. Cook an additional 15+ min, until potatoes are fork tender, making sure to stir fairly often to prevent the bottom from burning.
    Once the potatoes are soft take your potato masher and give the soup a quick mash. You're looking for chunky soup, not a fully mashed, creamy soup.
  • Next stir into the soup ham, corn and bacon. Allow soup to simmer for a few min to get everything warmed up well.
    Pull soup from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
    Finally stir in grated cheese and greek yogurt, blending until all is combined into the perfect cheesy chunky ham and potato soup!
