Soup, Ham and Potato

"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."


INGREDIENTS:
3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/3 cup diced celery
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
3 1/4 cups water
2 Tbs chicken bouillon granules
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp ground white or black pepper, to taste
5 Tbs butter
5 Tbs all-purpose flour
2 cups milk




PROCEDURE:
1 Minutes Ready In: 45 Minutes
2 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.
3 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.
4 Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.

4 medium red potatoes
1 large onion chopped
1 t. thyme
1 whole bulb garlic
1 14oz can chicken broth
not condensed or bullion cubes
1 T. flour
black pepper
1 C half and half or light cream
Homemade Croutons

Peel and cube two potatoes. Cube the remaining potatoes with the skins on. Place peeled potatoes on one side of baking pan, and unpeeled potatoes on the other side. Sprinkle all over with onion and thyme. Peel outer dry paper layers of garlic and carefully slice tips from garlic cloves, leaving bulb intact. Place garlic bulb in center of pan, cut side up. Drizzled olive oil over all. Bake uncovered 400' about 50 min. or until garlic is soft and potatoes are tender. Cool slightly.
Squeeze garlic bulb to remove garlic paste. In a blender or food processor, puree garlic paste and peeled potato cubes and half of the onion and half of the broth and all of the flour until nearly smooth.
Pour the pureed mixture into a medium saucepan. Stir in unpeeled potatoes and remaining onion and broth and half and half or cream and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir one minute more. If necessary add additional cream. Top with croutons.

2 T oil or butter, melted
1/2 t Italian seasoning
