Ham and Potato Soup
This is similar also and is THE VERY BEST soup that I have EVER had and I have made a ton of different ones. It says that it serves 8---well, it served 3 at my house. We all went back for more.
HAM AND POTATO SOUP
Serves 8
3.5 c. Peeled and diced potatoes
1/3 c. Chopped celery
1/3 c. Chopped onion
3/4 c diced cooked ham
3 and 1/4 c. Water
2 Tbsp. Chicken bouillon granules
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper
5 Tbsp. Butter
5 Tbsp. Flour
2 c. Milk
Combine potatoes, celery, onion and ham with water in stockpot. Bring to boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender (10-15 mins). Stirs in bouillon and salt and pepper.
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Wisk in flour with fork and cook stirring constantly until thick. (1 min). Slowly stir in milk...continue stirring (med low heat) until thick (4 - 5 mins).
Stir the milk mixture into stockpot and cook soup until heated through! Serve with cheese (I melt some cheese in in the last few mins)!
