Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 3 celery stalks chopped about 1 cup
  • 3 1/2 cups potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups diced ham
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 5 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine the onion, celery, potatoes, ham and water in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook for one minute, whisking constantly. Slowly stir in milk and whisk to combine. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
