    If you love recipes that use leftover ham as much as I do you are going to want to make ham pot pie. This is a classic Pa Dutch comfort food. If you are looking for a twist on a classic that uses leftover ham, perhaps my croque-monsieur egg roll recipe is more for you.

    🌽 Substitutions:

    If you don't like corn and peas in your ham and potato soup you are welcome to leave them out! This is YOUR soup and this recipe is meant to be a guide to create a recipe that your family will love. I would suggest substituting in other vegetables in equal proportions. Other vegetable substitutions could be celery, green beans, carrots or broccoli.

    🍖 What if I don't have leftover ham?

    It is not a problem if you don't have leftover ham for this recipe. I feel ya! Sometimes you want to make ham and potato soup but don't have leftovers! Pick up a few ham steaks from the meat case or have the deli slice you a THICK piece of deli ham. I would not suggest using lunch meat ham for this recipe. I have not tried it but I can imagine it would be prone to falling apart.

    🥣 What to serve with ham and potato soup?

    I am a big fan of dunking a ripped-off piece of crusty bread in my ham and potato soup. If I remember I make a batch of my no-knead bread. Or bake off a pan of Rhodes rolls. There is no shame in taking help from the freezer section at the grocery store!

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    How do I reheat leftover ham and potato soup?

    I am a big fan of reheating leftover ham and potato soup on the stovetop in a small saucepan. I just a splash of milk to loosen up the soup as it heats.  Heat to a simmer and stir. Alternatively, you can heat the leftovers in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Be sure to cover the soup in case there is splashing of the soup as it heats. Stir and continue heating in 15-second intervals until the desired temperature is reached.

    How do I store leftovers?

    As with other soups, completely cool leftover ham and potato soup and store in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to a week.

      This is awesome! I don't think I have ever NOT had ham as a leftover. Who can eat an entire one at a meal?
