| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Potatoes, peeled and diced | 3 1/2 cups |
| Celery, diced | 1/2 cup |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1/2 cup |
| Cooked ham, diced | ¾ cup |
| Water | 3 ¼ cups |
| Chicken bouillon granules | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) |
| Ground white or black pepper | 1 teaspoon (or to taste) |
| Butter | 5 tablespoons |
| All-purpose flour | 5 tablespoons |

Instructions
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.
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.
Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
