Potato Soup


A medium Onion
a few stalks of celery
a couple good sized potatoes
6 tbls butter
6 tbls flour
2 chicken bouillon cubes (or you could just use a good chicken stock in leu of water and chicken bouillon)
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked ham
2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream (I totally used more than this)

In a dutch oven or stock pot, sweat the diced onion and celery, season with salt and pepper. Add chopped potatoes, and ham, cover with water. Boil for 10 minutes until potatoes start to get tender. Meanwhile, in a sauce pan or skillet, melt butter and wisk in flour, stir for 1 min, then begin to add milk. once incorporated, add the heavy cream stir for 3-5 minutes until thickened.

Once you have boiled the potatoes with the water and blah blah, reduce heat and add bouillion cubes stir, once they are dissolved add the milk mixture. Cook another few minutes so all of the flavors blend, season with salt and pepper to taste!

It is soooo good!!
