Ham and Potato Chowder Soup Recipe is amazingly good by boiling diced potatoes, celery, onion, cooked ham and chicken bouillon while making a roux of butter, flour and milk to add to soup to create a delicious ham and potato soup.
|
INGREDIENTS
|
|
3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes (or more if you like)
|
|
1/3C diced celery
|
|
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
|

3/4 cup diced cooked ham (or more if you like)
|
|
3 1/4 cups water
|
|
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
|
|
OR
|

DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham, water and bouillon in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper.
|
|
|
|
2:
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Slowly whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes to ensure flour is cooked - do not allow to brown.
|
|
|
|
3:
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.
|
|
|
|
4:
Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through.
