Ham and Potato Soup
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, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground white or black pepper, or to taste
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
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.
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.
