Notes
- Your potato masher won't mash the diced ham pieces (not much, if at all).
- Any milk can also work (whole, 2%, 1%, or skim milk) but you may want to thicken the soup with a slurry of either all-purpose flour or cornstarch. Mix either 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour with an equal amount cold water until smooth. Whisk into your soup. Repeat as needed until you get your desired thickness. *Note that it typically takes 2x as much flour to get the same results as cornstarch.
