Tips
- If you don’t have a heavy dream you can use one glass of milk instead.
- Before putting it away don’t leave ham and potato soup out for more than 2 hours as bacteria can start growing in it.
- Before storing in the fridge let the soup cool down to room temperature. Store it in a sealable container. You can store it for 2to 3 days in the fridge but if you store it for more days it would be good to throw it away and make a fresh one.
- Don’t freeze it as the soup will get a grainy texture after defrosting.
