01
Step 1
Start by putting the potatoes, water, carrot, onion, chicken base, and a pinch of salt into a large soup pot over medium heat. Let everything cook until the potatoes are nice and tender, which usually takes about 20 minutes. Once the potatoes are soft, stir in 1 cup of milk.

Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and flour until smooth, then whisk in the remaining 1 cup of milk. Pour this mixture into the soup along with the ham. Turn the heat down to low and let the soup simmer gently, stirring every now and then, until it thickens up nicely—this should take about 30 to 45 minutes.

Step 3
Finally, toss in the cheese cubes and chopped parsley. Keep cooking for another 10 minutes or so, until the cheese has melted and the soup is thick and creamy. Give it a good stir before serving, and enjoy!
