Peel and dice 4 to 5 russet potatoes put in water and set aside.

 

Add 2 tbs. butter and 1 tbs oil to onions. Sauté mushrooms, garlic, and ham. When vegetables are softened, deglaze pot with 1/4 cup sherry.  Cook until alcohol is cooked out.


Add 1 lg. chicken bullion, 1 tbs. dried parsley, and 2 teas. Italian seasoning.  Fill pot 1/2 way full with hot water.


 

Drain potatoes, then put potatoes in pot.


 

Bring to a boil, then simmer soup for about 30 minutes until all vegetables are soft.


 

To thicken, add 3 tbs. corn starch to 1/4 cup cold water. Stir well, add to simmering  soup and stir.


 

Turn soup off heat, then add 1 can evaporate milk.
