Ingredients:
3 ½ cups peeled and diced potatoes
⅓ cup diced celery
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup diced cooked ham
(3 ¼) cups water
2 tbsp chicken bouillon granules
½ tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp ground white or black pepper
5 tbsp butter
5 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups of milk
Directions:
Add and combine potatoes, celery, onion, ham, and water in a stockpot. Let it boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender for 10 to 15 minutes. Then stir in the chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper.
In a separate saucepan, add and melt butter over medium-low heat. Then whisk in the flour with a fork, and cook until thick for a minute, stirring constantly. Stir slowly in milk as not to allow lumps to form until you add all of the milk, stir continuously over medium-low heat until thick for 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.
Notes:
Leftover ham, or any diced cooked ham like a ham steak, can be used. I like keeping the pieces on the bigger side so that the soup has a lot of texture.
This soup has plenty of salty ingredients between the ham, chicken broth, and cheese, so limit adding some salt until the very end after you’ve sampled the final dish.
