Peel the potatoes and dice them into small cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
Add the smoked ham, cut into small pieces, and cook for another 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the diced potatoes, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely tender.
Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and ground nutmeg.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to fully combine.
Serve hot, garnished with toasted croutons and extra smoked ham pieces.
