I couldn't find my mom's recipe so I found this one at allrecipes.com. It's probably not cold where you are but it's still cool enough for soup here. And this one is YUM! Comfort food. Now I still have enough ham for one more dinner... Ham-fried rice? Ham pot pie? Recipes please! Also I bought 4 lbs of strawberries from Sam's Club and I need a healthy recipe to use those that is not strawberry-spinach salad (already made that) , a shake, or a dessert (trying to lose pounds not gain them). Does such a recipe exist? Delicious Ham and Potato Soup |
|
3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes 1/3 cup diced celery (didn't have, so used sliced carrots) 1/3 cup finely chopped onion 3/4 cup diced cooked ham 3 1/4 cups water 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon | granules 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1 teaspoon ground white or black pepper, or to taste 5 tablespoons butter 5 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. 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. (I added a handful of sharp cheddar cheese to this sauce) |
3. | Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately. |

My favorite thing to make with leftover ham is "beans" I think I have the recipe I will scrounge it up. Sooo yummy.
