This ham and potato soup was great — so creamy! I added some carrots and green beans to it to give the dish a little more fiber and heartiness.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 3 ½ cups peeled and diced potatoes

  • ½ cup chopped carrots

  • ½ cup chopped green beans

  • ⅓ cup diced celery

  • ⅓ cup finely chopped onion

  • ¾ cup diced cooked ham

  • 3 ¼ 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 saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a 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 milk mixture into the stockpot and cook soup until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
