Make a hearty soup for lunch with leftover ham.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 C. peeled and diced potatoes
  • 1/3 C. diced celery
  • 1/3 C. finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 C. diced cooked ham
  • 3 1/4 C. water
  • 2 Tbs. chicken bouillon granules
  • 1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste
  • 1 tsp. ground white or black pepper, or to taste
  • 5 Tbs. butter
  • 5 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • 2 C. milk

Directions

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. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
