Main Ingredients
  • 3 1/2 cups russet potatoes peeled and diced medium
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked honey ham diced medium
  • 1/2 cup celery diced small
  • 1/2 cup onion diced small
  • 4 cups chicken broth two 15oz cans

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes. Boil them in chicken broth until tender, approximately 10–15 minutes.
  2. In a separate pan, melt butter, then whisk in flour until a smooth paste forms. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly to avoid clumping, until the mixture thickens.
  3. Gradually stir the roux into the pot of boiled potatoes and broth. Mix in diced celery, onions, and ham. Simmer for 10–15 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve hot.
