Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
• 3/4 cup diced ham
• 3 1/4 cups water
• 2 T chicken bouillon granules (4 cubes)
• 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 5 T butter
• 5 T flour
• 2 cups milk

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the potatoes, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 min. 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 min. 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, about 4-5 min.

3. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
