Directions:
Put potatoes and 2 cups broth in a large soup pot, then bring to a boil.
Next reduce heat to simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, for 10 to15 minutes.
Cool soup for 5 minutes, then pour into to a food processor and puree until smooth.
In same pot, heat butter over medium heat and saute red and yellow sweet peppers, onion and carrot until carrot is tender for 8 to 10 minutes.
Add ham, jalapeno pepper (optional) and seasonings, then cook while stiring for 1 minute.
Stir in pureed potatoes and remaining 2 cups broth, then bring just to a boil.
In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of hot soup into egg yolk and cream, then return to the pot, whisking constantly.
Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir until thickened, for 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve in a round hollowed our sourdough bread (optional) and garnish with toppings as desired. Enjoy!
