  • Dice the potatoes, onion, and ham. Heat a little oil in a pot and brown the ham over medium heat. Transfer the ham to a plate and set it aside — you'll need it at the end. Melt the butter in the pot and sauté the onion until golden. Add the flour and stir well. Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Add the potatoes and cook over medium heat for about 15-25 minutes, until they're tender (the timing depends on your potatoes). Return the browned ham to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the sour cream and soft cheese until smooth.
  • A note on choosing potatoes: for a soup, you want a lower-starch variety that holds its shape and won't fall apart into the broth — waxy potatoes (often sold as "boiling" or "all-purpose" potatoes) are ideal. Save the high-starch, floury bakers for mashing, and firm waxy types for frying, where you want the pieces to keep their shape.
