Ham and Potato Soup

This recipe says that it serves 8. (It served 3 at my house, so I always double it).

3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
3 1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp. chicken bouillon granules (6 cubes)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper ( I use less—about half )
5 Tbsp. butter
5 Tbsp. flour
2 cups 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).
Stir in bouillon and salt and pepper.

In separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk 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 min).

Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot and cook soup until heated through. Serve with cheese ( I throw in Velveeta during the last few minutes!)

I use cornstarch instead of flour and rice milk instead of milk.
