• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3 1⁄2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
• 1⁄3 cup diced celery
• 1⁄3 cup finely chopped onion
• 3⁄4 cup diced cooked ham
• 3 1⁄4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper (to taste)
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk

directions

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.
