Looks fantastic Debby! With your temps, you need something hardy to warm you up!Yesterday I made a big pot of ham & potato soup, sure is nice to have now that it's getting so cold.
I use this recipe as sort of a guideline. If I have a carrot that needs to be used, I dice and toss that in. If I have a bit more ham, it goes in and the same with potatoes and celery. In other words, I kind of wing it.
Ham and Potato Soup
3 1/2 Cups peeled & diced potatoes
1/3 Cup diced celery
1/3 Cup finely chopped onion
3/4 Cup ham, cooked & cut into bite size pieces
2 Tablespoons chicken bouillon granules (or some chicken broth)
salt & pepper to taste
5 Tablespoons butter
5 Tablespoons flour
2 Cups milk
1. Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a pot. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender. Stir in bouillon, salt & pepper.
2. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour; cook, whisking constantly about 1 minute. Slowly add in milk so lumps don't form. Continue whisking until thick, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir the milk mixture into the potato mixture and cook until heated through.
This will be a bit on the thin side, but gets thick overnight and I think it's best the next day. We like to sprinkle a little shredded cheddar (and sometimes crumbled bacon) on it.
Yes, I really don’t measure so watch a few videos. We like more ginger, like 3x the amount called for in a recipe.My husband doesn’t like the fine in the Asian pear so I peal it off. If I have apples laying around I will add one. The fish sauce makes it more authentic.Do you have a recipe you would be willing to share he would love a good recipe.

Basically, 2 heads of Napa cabbage soak in salt water over night, rinse if it taste to salty
2-3 large pears
1 apple
2 large onions
4-5 med size garlic cloves about 2 tablespoons once cut up
1 large Asian radish
1 cup of ginger
1 cup onion chives
1-2 to 1 cup chili pepper spice (I don’t like the heat, but flavor) our red chili View attachment 2422255pepper is mild
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
I like to cut into smaller pieces, then add the ACV put into canning jars on the counter for about a week (depending on temp) burp the lids on day 3 & 6 then put in the fridge.
