Potato Recipe ⇝ Healthier Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

This soup was great, so creamy. I add some carrots and green beans to it and it has a little more fiber and a little more heartiness to it.

Ingredients

• 3 ½ cups peeled and diced potatoes
• ½ cup chopped carrots
• ½ cup chopped green beans
• ⅓ cup diced celery
• ⅓ cup finely chopped onion
• ¾ cup diced cooked ham
• 3 ¼ cups water
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper, or to taste
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups nonfat milk

Cooking Directions

1. Combine potatoes, carrots, green beans, celery, onion, ham, and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in chicken bouillon and pepper.
2. Melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a with fork and cook, stirring constantly, until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk so lumps do not form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Pour the milk mixture into stockpot and cook soup until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
