POTATO, LEEKS, CORN AND HAM SOUP

POTATO, LEEKS, CORN AND HAM SOUP
DINNER AT HOME

We had a lot of food leftover after Thanksgiving.  Leeks, Potatoes, Thyme and Shallots to name just a few things.  Thought of making a Potato and Leek Soup so I gave it a try.  Used a recipe but added Shallots, Corn and Ham to kick it up a notch.  End product was a smooth soup with nice potato flavor.
The ham really makes a difference and takes the soup to another level.

 POTATO, LEEK, CORN AND HAM SOUP

FOUR LEEKS, FOUR CLOVES OF GARLIC AND A FEW LARGE SHALLOTS
ABOUT 2LBS OF RUSSET POTATOES CUT INTO SMALL CUBES
