By á-6356

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 Cups diced red potatoes
• 1/3 Cup celery
• 1/3 Cup chopped onion
• 1-2 Cups cooked chopped ham (ham steak works great)
• 3 1/2 Cups water
• 2 Tablespoons chicken bouillon granules or paste
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 5 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups milk

Preparation

Step 1

1. Fill a stockpot with the water, potatoes, ham, onion and celery. Bring to a boil, cook on medium heat until potatoes are done (10-15 minutes), then stir in the bouillon, salt & pepper.
2. While potatoes are cooking in a separate sauce pan melt the butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook stirring constantly until thick (about 1 minute). Add the milk, stirring constantly so no lumps form. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick (4-5 minutes)
3. Stir the thickened milk mixture in to the stockpot. Stir and heat through. Enjoy!
