Menu Planner Menu Planner   HAM AND POTATO SOUP  

 
INGREDIENTS

3½ cups potatoes, peeled and diced
⅓ cup diced celery
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup diced cooked ham
3¼ 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
RECIPE

  • 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 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper, leave in stockpot, and keep warm.
  • While potatoes are cooking melt butter over medium-low heat in medium saucepan.
  • Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly about 1 minute to get rid of the floury taste.
  • Slowly whisk in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added.
  • Continue whisking over medium-low heat until thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Stir milk mixture into stockpot, and continue to cook until heated through and blended.
  • Serve immediately.
