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 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes |
1/2 cup chopped carrots |
1/2 cup chopped green beans |
1/3 cup diced celery |
1/3 cup finely chopped onion |
3/4 cup diced cooked ham |
3 1/4 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 |
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 saucepanover 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.
