This is a family favorite around my house. It is a great way to use up leftover ham or veggies from a vegetable tray. I have even added chopped broccoli & cauliflower. To speed up prep time, use a food processor to chop the veggies and the ham.
Ingredients:
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup carrot, chopped
1/4 cup parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup ham, chopped
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
3/4 lb cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat; saute onion, celery, carrots, parsley and garlic in butter for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in flour, ground mustard, and pepper.
3. Add ham and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly.
4. Gradually add broth and milk; bring to a boil.
5. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
6. Stir in cheese; reduce heat.
7. Cook and stir till cheese is melted.
8. DO NOT BOIL.
