•

2 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces
•

1 cup onion, diced
•

1 cup carrot, diced
•

1 cup celery, diced
•

3 tablespoons flour
•

2 cups ham, cooked and cubed

1 teaspoon black pepper

6 cups chicken broth
•

2 bay leaves

2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

In a 6-quart (5.7 liters) dutch oven, cook bacon over medium-high heat until fat is rendered out and the pieces begin to get crispy.
Add onion, carrot, and celery, and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and add flour, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to avoid lumps.
Add ham, potatoes, thyme, and black pepper. Stir to coat the meat and potatoes in the roux/vegetable mix.
Add the chicken broth and bay leaves.
Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium-low and cook covered for 25-30 minutes.
Remove bay leaves and stir in cream. Return to a simmer and serve.
Enjoy!
