This is a delicious easy to make potato soup recipe. I make this with a ham stock, made from boiling a ham bone. But it turns out well if you use a pre-packaged chicken soup stock or water and bouillion to taste. It goes really nicely with some nice fresh buns or bread. We never have any leftovers.
Ingredients:
8 cups diced potatoes
1/2-1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2-1 cup diced carrot
1 lb diced ham
6 1/2 cups ham stock (made from ham bone) or 6 1/2 cups chicken soup base
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon (or to taste)
salt and pepper
4 -6 bay leaves
1/2 cup butter
10 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Directions:
1. Combine potato's, celery, onions, carrots, ham, bay leaves and soup stock in large stock pot. Bring to a boil.
2. Cook over medium heat until potato's are tender, 10-20 minutes.
3. Stir in chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper.
4. In separate pot melt butter over low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork and cook stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute.
5. Slowly stir in milk, continue stirring until thickened slightly.
6. Add hot milk mixture to soup slowly, cook until hot and thickened, serve.
