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, or to taste
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 5 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk

Equipment

  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.
  2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
