Potato Soup

• ADD TO COOKBOOK
You can turn this soup into a vegetarian dish by substituting the chicken broth for vegetable broth and by swapping the cooked ham for carrots or other vegetables.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3-1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
  • 1/3 cup celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 3/4 cup cooked ham, diced
  • 3-1/4 cups water
  • 4 tbsp chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 5 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • PREPARATION

    Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a pot. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir in the chicken broth, 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.

    Stir the milk mixture into the pot and cook until heated through.
