Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ pound ham roast, diced
  • 1 cup diced Spanish onion
  • 1 cup diced carrot
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 russet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Add the diced ham and cook until browned.
  3. Remove using a slotted spoon and set aside to reserve.
  4. Add the onion and carrot to the butter and ham drippings and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, then stir to combine into a paste.
  7. Once the flour is dissolved into a golden-brown paste, add the chicken broth and stir to avoid any clumps.
  8. Add the potatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  9. Add the peas, reserved ham, and whipping cream and cook until the peas are soft, about 5 minutes. The soup should be thick.
  10. Serve immediately.
