Love this recipe personally I would mash it a little bit more. But I'm going to use this recipe has inspiration to use of my ham bone instead of diced ham then fish out my bone and remove meat ;)
I love this recipe. I added white navy beans and they go amazingly well. Add them before you mash. I use an emergin blender instead of mashing and it came out great.
I can’t believe this is from 10 years ago!!! Amazing!! You are ahead of the times!! Thank you for inspiring my cooking, with 4 children, and a hungry husband, 20 years later...I need inspiration; you bring it. ❤️🙏🏽. Blessings
I was cold yesterday and I like potato soup, my son and daughter do not. But I did not care I wanted a warm soup. So I made it. Well the whole pot was gone the son had 4 bowls. IT was great and I will make your soup again. Thank you
I know that this video is 12 years old, but I just want to let you know that I made this after Christmas and it was so delicious. I used up part of the leftover honeybaked ham. At first I wasn’t sure how it would work since it was slightly sweet, but it turned out so good that I get hungry just thinking about it. I served it with homemade crusty bread. Thanks! You’ve made me a real good cook and I’m sure my husband appreciates it too. 😊 Oh, I forgot to mention that I doubled the carrots, potatoes, and ham.
it's funny that no matter how many times i hear you say 'as always, enjoy', it still doesn't sound fake or corny. You're the best. Thank you for sharing your talent.
This was like my first ever cooking/food wishes recipe EVER. And all I'll say is that I now recognize techniques that are common in cooking. 💯 love & respect!!!!
I made this today for my mom and myself. We both agreed this is the best Ham and Potato Soup (Chowder) we ever tasted! Thanks for the recipe. Love your videos! Your the best and you have a great sense of humor.
This is my go-to soup for grey days! I love it! I just add about 5 strips of crispy bacon at the end which my hubby says is non-negotiable. I know how to do this soup by heart pretty much, but I still watch this video every time because I just love Chef John's voice with me in the kitchen! ❤️. Thanks, Chef, for a family favorite!

This has become my go-to soup. I've managed to impress not just my husband, but my mom and dad too!
I can make this soup by heart now, but i still watch this video when i do because it's so wonderful, and shall i say comforting, to watch. Love Chef John's voice and personality!
Made this tonight with leftover honey baked ham. Did everything same as recipe and it was so delicious. Topped with some cheese and made some cornbread. Beautiful
This is one of Chef John's most comfortable and satisfying and funny to watch recipe videos :). I would love to have a bowl of that soup during a cold Christmas evening.
Hey, Chef John ... I made this chowder for supper tonight (Dec 27, 2017), and it is delicious! For extra seasoning and flavor, I added 1/2 tsp of Thyme; I did not have cayenne, so I substituted with red pepper flakes - two pinches or so. My husband ate two big bowls; it's a hit! Thanks for sharing your recipe. :)
11 yrs later, and I’m so glad I found your recipe! So easy to follow. Im so excited to try it. Hopefully this kickstarts my sons recovery from HFM. Thanks! I’ll be checking out your channel for sure😊
I made this last night. It was very easy and absolutely delicious! It's very cold out, we had a roaring fire in the kitchen fireplace, and this soup was a total comfort experience. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes, Chef John. This is a keeper!
I've just made this soup! It was simply delicious, easy to follow and easy to make. Husband loved it. Thank you! I am new to your channel, but I will definitely be doing more of your recipes.
Tried this tonight, added more cayenne, took out a batch before adding cream for dairy intolerant, then added some cream for the dairy tolerant. Can't say enough about it. First time I ever made soup without a lid. Thank you so much from the great white north!
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.
Made this yesterday had all the ingredients and the result were fantastic. My son and I finished it today and as often with soups the flavors were even better the next day. Thanks I always check out Food Wishes
I made this soup just as instructed as we literally had all the ingredients -- never happens. It turned out very very good. Not the first or last receipt of yours I have tried. Thanks.
I've made this recipe twice and both times it has tasted fantastic. The first time I had half a container of chicken stock & half a container of beef stock. The two different stocks didn't appear to make much difference in the final outcome of the soup. Like Chef John, I also enjoy adding cayenne to add a bit of heat. Tonight I made the soup, but instead of cooking it on the stove I used an electric pressure cooker. In addition to the diced vegetables in the ingredients I added one dice chili pepper and one diced jalapeno pepper. After adding the stock I cooked the soup on low pressure for two minutes. Once the pressure naturally released, I checked the seasoning, and added the diced potatoes and cooked on low pressure for another two minutes. Once the pressure naturally released again I used an immersion blender to mash the potatoes/vegetables a bit and then stirred in the cream. Yum, yum. Thanks, Chef John.
Same procedure as for the holy bartender: Pick up a submachine gun and empty the magazine into it. The water doesn't stay holy for long though, make right before serving!
This recipe is amazing! I did make one change though. I diced six strips of bacon, cooked them slowly, rendering out all the fat. Then I used most of the fat to sauté the vegetables. Then for the liquid I didn't mostly chicken broth, and like a cup of milk. I love it!!!
a while ago, i made this without the ham (i know, blasphemy) but it was still pretty awesome just with the veg. of course, i still used chicken stock so it wasn't as if it was vegetarian or anything, but it was still pretty delicious. :D
I just made it and it turned out great. I first cooked two pieces of bacon in the pot then strained fat from it, added butter and continued recipe as usual. I didnt have celery but it was fine, I doubled the cayenne, I used half and half instead of cream, and added a little dried basil for looks. The result was a kind of spicy, smoky, ham flavored soup. Delicious and so easy!
.Excellent recipe. I omitted the chicken broth as my husband has an aversion to it. Increased the cayenne. Best ham soup we have ever had! Who knew the Cayenne was the secret! Thanks
Joyless trolls gave you grief for that? I was an art history major undergrad and grad school. Cooked and waited tables until my 30th birthday when I was finally bullied and starved into law school. So now I have a good day job. But looking back and closing in on 60, I wish I’d done something with food instead. Oh well. Keep posting your videos. Love them.
Chef John, that's beautiful. I love the art major joke, I'm also an artist, but think that a cooking show on UA-cam will be more lucrative, ha ha. much love!
One of the best soups I've ever made. Made with leftover double smoked Thanksgiving ham that I froze (we always do way too much food to have leftovers to freeze for use throughout the winter). Did a double batch to eat it all week, only thing I changed was leaving the skin on the Yukon Gold potatoes. Will be making this again for sure.
Made this again last night. You know when you eat something, close your eyes, and that "mmmmmmm" sound comes from your mouth?? That's a foodgasm! That's what this soup does to me!
I made a big pot of this soup yesterday because it is so very cold outside 9°F here in Massachusetts. This soup warmed me up today after some time outside in the cold. It is absolutely delicious thank you so much Chef John! I made it exactly as you said minus the cayenne pepper and it was so good!
I suggest you to sizzle the ham in the butter first, then remove it from the pot and add it in after the potatoes are cooked. The ham just loses all of it's flavor otherwise and the pieces become bland
Thanks, Chef John. This was the first recipe I ever tried from a cooking show. I went to the store right after I watched this video, bought what I needed, came home, made this soup and it was great. I enjoy your videos and your recipes. Your laid-back, conversational style takes the intimidation out of trying a new recipe, especially for those of us with questionable culinary skills.
decent??? come one folks like you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy music dancing painting literature or sculpture....but, I'm guessing you probably don't anyway.
Chef John, I made this soup today and it was the bizness! Creamy, buttery and hearty all in one pot. Served with a side of peas and a spinach salad with some crusty bread. It was comfort heaven. Thanks for sharing.
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!!!
Made it tonight. Top notch! Here's my mods: • Subbed scallion "whites" for yellow onion • Subbed Olive oil for butter • Subbed crispy bacon for some of the ham
It is 94 degrees F here in Louisiana. Not your typical soup weather. But inside my house? Nice and comfy 72! Ham is already defrosting, and will make this for supper. Thank you!!!
I never ate this or cooked this until today because I had left over ham and I am so proud of myself because it's sooooo good. But really it's your recipe and you are amazing for putting this up for people.
@@conspiracynikkikimmi5765 That's about the age I was. The wild blackberries were ripe, kept bugging Mom for a pie, she finally handed me her Betty Crocker binder cookbook with all her notes, and I made me a pretty darn good pie. By the time I was 12 me and my brothers were doing all the chores, including the cooking.
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 :)
I wouldn't be able to stop myself from adding a bit of cheddar cheese. I would also use ham hocks not a slice of ham. This way you don't need chicken stock. Ham hocks produce a nice broth bc it comes with a bone.:o)
Extremely fatty broth, though, sometimes it can get so grease-clotted that it's inedible. I'm not going to use ham hocks in soup anymore unless I fridge the results so I can skim off the massive amount of fat before using.
@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 I buy ham bones from the spiral ham sammich place up the street, especially when they're having a sale on them. I'll figure one bone per batch of soup. I cover them with water, usually takes about 1.5 qt. per bone, simmer for about an hour, pull the bones out and clean all the meat off. Meat gets diced and divided according to how many bones. Everything else, like fat, gristle goes back in the pot with the bones and simmers for several hours longer. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, then back in the pan and reduce to 2 cups liquid per bone used. It can be put in 1 pint containers and frozen, or you could can it. Super flavorful and I don't find it to be overly fatty at all. When you make your soup, reconstitute the broth with a quart of water.
@@Payin_Attention Fridging and freezing both help to get the fat to rise and solidify. I find it much easier to skim when cold. I cook chicken with anything and everything in it, usually for quite a long time, then strain it, then fridge it and come back next morning to skim the fat off the top.
@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 Best is to cook for about an hour, then pull and trim of all meat. Bones and such can then get simmered. Meat retains a lot of flavor, and the rest gives you a great rich broth.
i do all those things but........what does the woman do? look pretty was what you used to do but now you're a bunch of whales.... so.. women offer what in todays world? they offer demands of what they want in a man. - > time to leave boys
I’m making this today. I cooked a ham yesterday and thought about making split pea soup and this came up after I watched your pea soup video and now I’m drooling 🤤 AND I have everything I need. I’ll use the ham bone to make stew stock and use it in place of chicken stock. Yuuuummmm
Perfect recipe. Did not need thickening at all with mashing potatoes but did a few times anyways. I used left over turkey stock. Thanks again Chef John. Happy 2022 and all the best to you and yours.
I've made this soup so many times, John. Thank you!!! It's a favorite with my family, and I believe one of your best all-time recipes (I'm a long time fan).

I blended up half of my potatoes into a puree & Used bacon instead of Ham
This was so flavorful!! One of the best soup recipes i've had, Thanks!
+XxChantellXx1 I was thinking of using bacon, too, or maybe half and half.
+Joseph Charles +1 I'm totally about to go half and half.
I puree about a cup and a half or so of the cooked soup to give it more body instead of using the potato masher.
Only the pure in heart can make a good soup...

Made it tonight. Top notch!
Here's my mods:
• Subbed scallion "whites" for yellow onion
• Subbed Olive oil for butter
• Subbed crispy bacon for some of the ham
Your comments are always so great, Andrew! Just thought I'd let you know your efforts are appreciated.
cooking olive oil makes it not good for your health anymore. at a temp
while butter contains fats that your body needs.
just saying
I often swap olive oil for butter, but with milk or cream based foods butter seems to blend better. Sometimes I've seen the olive oil separate
You got a source on that claim, cha cha?
Me too, Arthas. I've seen that separation lots of times.
It is 94 degrees F here in Louisiana. Not your typical soup weather. But inside my house? Nice and comfy 72! Ham is already defrosting, and will make this for supper. Thank you!!!
Dear Chef: I added some chop up leek to the vegetables. It was wonderful!

@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 Best is to cook for about an hour, then pull and trim of all meat. Bones and such can then get simmered. Meat retains a lot of flavor, and the rest gives you a great rich broth.
I just made this for my family with our left over Xmas ham. It is amazing. My family loves it! Thank you.
@LDKBBAB I watched his videos before it was cool.
You mean it's cool?
As soon as you added that cream it looked like heaven. Goodness!!
can I use bacon instead of ham?
Chef John! I made this soup this evening. The cayenne did the trick. So delicious and with prep, just under an hour. My sons are going to love this.

Love a man who cooks, AND, does it so very well :) but he has to clean up too .

Thank you for the recipe. My dad is sick and this is his favorite soup. Thank you again

It's winter, freezing cold here in Sydney Australia. Will be making this VERY SOON and cannot freaking wait. Thanks man, you are the man!!
I felt that art major joke to my core. Feelsbadman
I made it last night, my daughter loved it. Delicious, I'll for sure make it again!
You will roux the day you said that.
I’m making this today. I cooked a ham yesterday and thought about making split pea soup and this came up after I watched your pea soup video and now I’m drooling 🤤 AND I have everything I need. I’ll use the ham bone to make stew stock and use it in place of chicken stock. Yuuuummmm
Perfect recipe. Did not need thickening at all with mashing potatoes but did a few times anyways. I used left over turkey stock. Thanks again Chef John. Happy 2022 and all the best to you and yours.
It's 7:34am.. And I watching this craving potatoes soup!! Looks delicious!! Thank you for sharing.
I made this and it was really good. We had scratch made cornbread with it. It will be a weekly meal thru the winter.
I've made this soup so many times, John. Thank you!!! It's a favorite with my family, and I believe one of your best all-time recipes (I'm a long time fan).
