Potato and Ham Soup

This was a big success.  We didn’t have a drop left and everyone gave it five stars.

3 – 4 Cups of Cubed Potatoes
1 Small Stalk of Celery, Diced
1 Small Onion, Diced
1 Tablespoon Salt
3 1/2 Cups of Water or Chicken Broth
5 Tablespoons of Butter
5 Tablespoons of Flour
1 Teaspoon of White Pepper
2 Cups of Skim Milk

Combine potatoes, celery, onion, salt, and broth or water in a large pot.  Bring mixture to a boil and then simmer until potatoes are fork tender.

In another saucepan make a roux with the butter and flour.  Cook mixture for 1 minute stirring constantly.  Whisk in milk slowly as to not allow clumping.  Cook for 4 to 5 minutes.

Pour thickened milk into potatoes, add pepper, stir and serve immediately.
