Ingredients

1 large carrot chopped
2 sticks celery chopped
1/2 medium onion chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound (approx.) smoked ham cut into small pieces
2.5 pounds Russet potatoes peeled & cut into 1" pieces
3 cloves garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon dashes Italian seasoning
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep your celery, carrot, and onion and add them to a large soup pot with the olive oil. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, prep your ham and potatoes (or you can prep them at the start - it's up to you!).
Stir in the garlic, then add the ham, potatoes, Italian seasoning, chicken broth, and water to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a gentle boil. Cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar and reduce the heat so it's simmering. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are nice and tender (I like them to easily fall apart).
Using a potato masher, lightly mash some of the potatoes right in the pot. I like a mix of potato pieces and a bit of mash. Season with salt & pepper and serve immediately. This soup tastes even better the next day!

Recipe Notes

Try the slow cooker version or the Instant Pot version of this recipe.
Use low-sodium chicken broth if salt is a concern for you.
