Ham and Potato Soup Recipe - Ham and Potato Chowder

[daspense]

The Hue of your Roux looks like poo.

[viciouscycleable]

where can I find the recipe?

[PotentialFreedom]

Made it with bacon, crisped the bacon, then the rest of the recipe is the same. Excellent!

[pankajkumarus]

I just made this soup yesterday and today except I didnt use broth and onion and i didn't have ham or cream. But I used tofu and mushroom instead with some chicken flavor still tasted great.

[hipstersandcupcakes]

lol the add at the bottom of my video was "4 signs of a heart attack"...im scared now

[lizmk87]

Is that sour cream?.

[tdahl7]

This has become one of my favorite channels! I watch show after show.. then i go and buy groceries. hahaha

[L33W41K41]

I lol because I'm an art major switching to culinary

[booabear]

I made this today and it was SUPER DUPER YUMMY! I used bacon instead of ham, chili flakes instead of cayenne, and cooked it for a bit longer than instructed (cuz my potato were still hard). You rock Chef John- this is one of the reasons why I will never eat canned soup again :)

[barnaby1988]

If you do freeze, shouldn't you leave the cream out? and then add once reheated?

[Jukesette]

Had a craving and made another pot of this delicious soup! SO GOOD!

[zoombalaboy]

WANT

[tatahtata]

just made this soup with chicken sausages instead of ham. currently indulging my hot soup. yum!!!

[MrStaleningrad]

I laughed at the art major joke. 

[Snipehunter09]

Dude... YOU HAVE 666 VIDEOS!!! O.o"

[smartinez020]

I'm trying this on Friday. Hope it comes out yummy

[Jukesette]

Made this for dinner... came out PERFECTLY! Seconds were perfect. Now slipping into a chowder coma.

[loraleiffxi]

@Jukesette You actually had seconds? I'm jealous. There was nothing left when I made it. :(

[Jukesette]

@loraleiffxi Nice thing about this soup, it freezes beautifully! :)

[HiphopPosse]

Masterpiece....nuff said!

[jaakizamazin]

There's something therapeutic about watching your videos x].

[loraleiffxi]

I just made this last night with my Christmas ham leftovers. My family absolutely loved it! I didn't have any chives to sprinkle on top, so I used a few pieces of the leaves from the celery stalks. It looked very nice, and the flavor was great, too! Thanks, chef John. I can't wait to try more of your recipes.

[smartinez020]

I'm just sitting here with my sandwhich :[

[pumasrbeast]

NICEEE SOUP.... MADE IT LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS FRICKEN AWESOME THXXXX:)

[cyoohoos]

I made this soup. (1) I forgot the cream and (2) I let the flour brown to deeply and it was still good. Thank you Chef John.

[HeyLookItsAmy]

Mouthgasm, I'm making this soon it looks so good!

[cjmythrandir]

I have made this 3 times in the last month. I am a 20 year old college student... this stuff is FANTASTIC

[vinnywoo]

can you replace the carrots with something else?

[multimandy3]

how many does it serve

[GabLovesMM]

Made it tonight, it was delicious! Great recipe :)

[PreludeLJS]

Ok I made this a couple nights ago and WOW.... it was amazing!! Even my picky husband went back for seconds and asked me to make it on Sunday for him and all his football buddies!! I did stir in some sharp cheddar as it was being served which made it taste like a mashed up loaded baked potato in a bowl.... fantastic!!!

[SkullFactory21]

can someone explain that joke with art major? :D

[BeardedDanishViking]

@SkullFactory21 Because they make money delivering pizza.

[SkullFactory21]

@BeardedDanishViking tnq :)

[iceberserker]

@SkullFactory21 He implies that the art major is the one delivering the pizza, hence paying for the pizza gets the art major off his doorstep. The joke is art majors can't find jobs

[eunit22]

How many potatoes did you use?

[PreludeLJS]

@eunit22 the blog says 1 1/2 lbs I think. A bag of Gold potatoes is roughly 2.5 lbs... I am going to make this tonight but I think I want my soup a bit thicker so I'm going to use a few more potatoes than called for. It's all personal preference.

[eunit22]

So how many

[kitabare76]

Just made this soup!!! Awesome!!!

[doryyg1]

omg! that looks sssooo delicious! gotta try it soon!!!

[TheSaltyDays]

[TheSuckok]

I made this tonight...it was sooooooooo GOOD!!! Thanks for sharing. (and to think i was gonna throw away all that left over ham)

[MineCraftDuke]

Looks like my mom's cooking.

[skankmuffin]

Made it tonight, great recipe, thanks!

[KHRSace]

[MelonBerriable]

I'm an art student but I still liked this video. :p It's no excuse. The food still looks tasty.

[Gunny529D]

Looks delicious! I'm allergic to shellfish so I can't eat clam chowder but loveeee it.. so this will be as close as I can have. Thank you so much for taking the time to post it. We all appreciate it.

[TheSuckok]

@Gunny529D You should try it, its really good.The only thing i thought of was making it again but with clams, thats how much it reminded me of it.

[Gunny529D]

@TheSuckok Thank you, I got the stuff to do it so tomorrow I plan on giving it a try.

[djamorpheus]

[ziberteck]

[luisariel92]

I made it yesterday and it was UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS!!!!

Thanks a lot Chef John :D

[LovelyAmberLight]

So I multiplied the recipe by four (for a family of five) thinking I could freeze some for a future meal. IT DIDN'T EVEN LAST 24 HOURS!!! First everyone had seconds for supper. Then my kids insisted on having it for breakfast. Then they sneaked some to school for lunch. And when they got home they fought over the last bowl. Finally, my husband (he HATES soup by the way) informs me that he would really appreciate eating this soup weekly. WOW! Need I say more?

[cyoohoos]

@LovelyAmberLight Good for you. It makes you feel good when people appreciate your food. I have some leftover ham. I will totally be making this later.

[Shitensou]

@LovelyAmberLight Why does he hate eating soup? o_o

[DrBCorwen]

Yeah, I eat ramen cup almost everyday...and now I'm stuck with leftover root-beer flavored jelly beans--I dislike rootbeer.

People like you, are the most loved!

[flysniper77]

And they taught us in high school to not cut veggies and raw meat on the same board... stupid teachers

[cyoohoos]

@flysniper77 That ham was fully cooked. In fact, most ham you buy is fully cooked.

[rawimpact]

LOL @ the joke

[KylenneLupo]

chet john is legend. i hate fish but he can make fish looks so good. i hate beans but he makes them in a way that looks delicious, nothing is impossible O.o

[Happydey]

We are eating the soup at home right now..... DELICIOUS!!!!!! :d

my dad said: is it good? ....he wants some more.... hahahaha

[sassylittlekid]

Whenever I watch food wishes he always makes me hungry

[bluetextonwhitebg]

[outtermind]

Hail to Chef John! This was an easy and very awsome tasting dish, thank you!

[kerlynngan]

[rawrritsuyen]

[KaikipBT7]

Considering I've been coming down with a bit of a cold, this seems perfect for me. Damn this weather. Thanks chef John, looks delicious.

[MarFitz23]

making this as we speak :) so excited for it to be done!!! thanks for the recipe

[ulysses5000]

I made this and it was really good. We had scratch made cornbread with it. It will be a weekly meal thru the winter.

[TheKitchenWitch1]

I am always looking for good soup recipes this time of year. I love the technique for knowing when your potatoes are ready. Just smash :-) I will be making this.

[CarmenRocks]

I laughed so hard at the Art Major joke. This is why I subscribed.

Not only do you provide us with excellent cooking videos, you also provide entertainment.

[Sorgutentarer]

@CarmenRocks I didn't get that joke.. Can you explain? .. :)

[JesseFielder]

@Chef John, what chicken stock/broth do you use? Do you make your own? Or do you buy it from a grocery store? If so, what stock/broth do you use? I'm wondering because you use a lot of stock/broth in your recipes and I'm wondering where you get it from.

[xXxMySweetChannelxXx]

I love it!

[Kurrency21]

Love the vid John, another great recipe, THANK YOU!!



[YerDoinItWrong]

Made this tonight! Friggin' amazing! I added a bit more cayenne than CJ because I like spicy food! My potato cook time was much longer (about 35 minutes) than CJ's but I was patient and it was well worth waiting for!!!

[theMISSIDGAF]

ham and pea is good too. :)

[foxpro80]

just in time i just bought potato and make a potato salad now change of plan,I want this soup LOL(^_^)

[Sahnne]

Could I do that just without the ham to make a vegetarian soup? of course I´d use vegetable stock

[applesmoothiee]

@Sahnne There's no need to ask! Make it your own.

[possum419]

just made this...AMAZING. thanks, chef john! more soup/stew recipes for the coming winter months, please. :-)

[RedSoxBowHunter]

[hkfreak]

Hey God? What's a cubit?

[sebascesa]

You are the best!!!

[Mindbender05]

Videos like this would be the only reason for me to buy an iPad or any other tablet PC. To watch the cooking while cooking it myself :)

[TravAkira]

I can't tell you how much I LOVE watching your vids. Your voice-overs are hilarious, and the recipes are simply marvelous! Keep 'em coming... Much appreciation from a HUGE fan.

[ankanyeah]

[Wemfs]

@psimpso1 Bacon is a good idea. This looks so good.

[Knowinglex]

[quextico]

What can I say? As always, another winner! Thanks, Chef. I'm definitely making this, and soon.

[allenmoldovan]

[y0ungst3r]

[Rotorzilla]

[lameristotel]

[Elgita2]

[muncher541]

[AllieMcKeen]

"Pay for the pizza!" . . . Ouch. ;)

[LuvCatz905]

OMG I LOVE HAM AND POTATO SOUP! but i always add some corn in it, and personally i like it better with corn.

[OceaneR123]

Amazing

[kimisladybug]

Ahhhh this looks amazing and delicious. I am attempting to make this today...Wish me luck. :)

[exlinda978]

I made this soup last night.. Everyone in my house killed it!! I'm out of flour instead I use corn starch and heavy cream. It's really good!! Thnks!!!

[thestrawberrywaffle]

Everytime I see dislikes on his videos I can't help but think they're just plain hungry.

[branfriend5]

@thestrawberrywaffle I agree!! Especially this one. I've made this recipe four times since I found it and it is sooo DELICIOUS!!

[growingneeds]

Chef John, you always make me salivate.

[cy91beautyinsider]

Yummy this looks delicious.

[xxlovexxlustxx]

you should make a cheesy potato soup!!

[MrCalcali]

o my got.... his voice is sooooo soothing.

[doomonucharlie]

Just got done making and eating this soup .. turned out great and was very easy to make. Thanks Chef!!

[TheBrewbro]

thats fucking hilarious. all of it.

[homegirl918]

Well I made this last wk.end & it was a big hit w/ my guests. They had 2 helpings. My son has had a few bowls now & wants to know when I will make it again. Great hit & VERY TASTY. Thanks for sharing.

[TiburonCoffee]

I just made this dish tonight. I would highly recommend people try this if you're at all considering it!

[Tokioka]

good joke lol

[elusive73]

*looks at cucumber spears*

*looks at soup*

*looks back at cucmber spears*

*cries*

LOL I can't wait to make thissss... mmmmmmmmmmm

[elusive73]

@elusive73 *cucumber... lol *sighs at own typo*

[walterkeathley]

That's garlic is a bit too thick to be a Goodfellows style.

[KamekoBruns]

@walterkeathley Goodfellas! FELLAS! Come on now! You're killing my beloved Brooklyn accent! ;-)

[MartialKitchen]

Come to MARTIAL KITCHEN for some great recipes, some restaurant reviews, and some funny martial arts comedy action to keep you entertained.

Happy Halloween from MARTIAL KITCHEN

[fdoeppen]

No wonder vegan people are always so angry, they can't eat this soup! :D

[pixiedust2160]

What is cream?

[TenuredHornet]

It already looked tasty, but the cream made it look a million times better

[aclassgnar]

8 or 9 or 10 or 12....but not 11?

[nguoithutu]

I just made this today, it was delicious! Thank you, chef John!

[wenaldy]

Can i replace ham with flattened beef or chicken? Ham/ pork is not my thing (halal/ kosher matter)

[dinhelle]

My food wish is Clam chowder!! :)

[doomonucharlie]

Where I do my food shopping, they have "half and half" and "whipping cream" ... which do I use to make this soup?? Or will both work? Thanks.

[ttk1opc]

@doomonucharlie Half & Half is half cream, half milk. Whipping cream, for the most part is heavy cream as far as the butterfat contents is concerned, though some whipping creams can contain additives that help whipped cream stay that way. You could use either here, half and half is just lighter, though heavy/whipping cream would taste better.

[ducktape775]

I ate a huge meal, had an alcoholic beverage, my stomache is burning, I am uncomfortably full, get on my computer, see this food porn video, watch it...now all I want to do is puke. -__-

[Tonithenightowl]

I wouldn't use chicken stock, I would buy a ham hock instead of the slice of ham so the broth would taste like ham. However I do use chicken stock to make my baked potato soup which starts out with a bacon base, so maybe this would work and taste just fine. I will have to give it a try. Thanks so much.:o)

[PaulTheillusionist]

Mmm good.

[chefHolly33]

Looks Good... I make mine w/bacon potatoe n Corn.... Yummy

[sparklicupcake]

Yummmmmm

[harvdezignz]

I don't eat ham, but this soup tastes great with veal, too!

[thebrunette1]

I love how you say "enjoy" exactly the same way in every video recipe. I love you, Chef John. Can you open a restaurant or something?

[snowblazer12]

at some peas to finish it off om nom nom 

[chinkskills]

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[rosiek26]

I was an art major and now I makes six figures. You're a YouTube chef.... Just sayin'

[shangliu]

@rosiek26 art majors like you are as rare as a potato chunk in a cream of potato soup. But still, I am happy to hear that there are several successful and hopefully fulfilling art related careers out there.

[snowblazer12]

@rosiek26 and what about all the other art majors. you act like you speak for all the art majors. if only you were smart<3

[rosiek26]

@snowblazer12 I never said anything about speaking for all art majors... I was merely pointing out that his joke is a generalization, I, as well as many others, studied art and do not deliver pizzas for a living. And as for your statement: "if only you were smart<3", I went to a top private university and have both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree... and I don't make hearts with text characters. What are you 14? Get off me.

[radicaledward40]

I totally added nutmeg to this and it was awesome!

[greenchocaholic]

gorgeous! :)

[gurraglad]

I'm a know-it-all

[VayMatt]

This sounds delicioso

[patrickbateman00]

Iron Chef John =D

[ExtremeVideoMaker95]

[n0t1337]

[taalslove]

@n0t1337 why... have you eaten now? haahahahaha

[gardini100]

[boogiechillen123]

My pizza delivery guy looks more like the show Oz

[GamerConor]

This looks beautiful John! Thanks!!
