"This is a delicious recipe for ham and potato soup that a friend gave to me. It is very easy and the great thing about it is that you can add additional ingredients, more ham, potatoes, etc and it still turns out great."

SUBMITTED BY: ELLIE11

"Soup was fantastic! I didn't have any celery so I used 1/4 cut diced carrots and sautéed them in olive oil with the onion, and 1TB of minced garlic. Replaced the water with 4 cups of chicken broth. But still added two chicken bullion cubes into 2 cups of water. Possibly overkill for some, but it was full of delicious flavor!! Even my 4 year old loved it :-)" - rachelperry-hance

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup Preparation

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. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.

2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. 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.

3. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.

    Awesome. Pretty easy to make and a new favorite with the family. This is now on the menu often. I got so many ideas with this recipe for a little change. Like substitute bacon for the ham for starters.

    Perfect for leftover Xmas ham! I made this with extra veggies, 3 tbsps of gluten free flour for the roux and I cooked 2 bouillon cubes with the potatoes from the beginning and added an addl cup of water. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the posting!

    Excellent, comforting, super easy. Used fennel bulb instead of celery but only because thats what was on hand. Excellent soup. Four of us finished the pot. Served soup with crusty bread and crisp green salad. Thank you for sharing. This is going into my favorites.

    This was great! I doubled the recipe and almost panicked because the milk and flour mixture wasn't thickening, but it finally did after about 15 minutes. Even my picky husband liked it.

    I used chicken stock, added garlic and leftover creamed corn and used a whole onion. I also added some heavy cream to milk mixture. It was delicious and so easy to throw together!
