Ham and Potato Soup

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/delicious-ham-and-potato-soup/ 

Straight from Allrecipes, with very few modifications, this soup was DELICIOUS and really hearty. 

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
• 1/3 cup diced celery
• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
• 1.5 cups diced cooked ham
• 3 1/4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk

Directions

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