 This soup is so easy to make and it's it's delicious! This recipe makes 6-8 servings and my hubby & I ate it all...I almost licked the pot it was so yummy!  Peel your potatoes.  Chop them into bite sized pieces - 3 1/2 cups worth. Chop up 1/2 cup of celery & 1/3 cup of finely chopped onion.  Dice 3/4 cup of cooked ham, I like them cut into smaller pieces.  Add all your chopped up veggies & ham to a large pot with 3 1/4 cups of chicken stock. I like low sodium stock because the ham we are adding is salty enough.  bring to a boil over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.  While your potato mixture is cooking away, we move onto the next step. Melt butter in a sauce pan over med-low heat, and add flour whisking constantly until thickened.  Slowly add milk, keep whisking until smooth an thick about 1 minute, you want your flour to cook through. Keep stirring for a few more minutes until mixture is velvety smooth.  Add milk mixture into soup, stirring to incorporate and let it simmer another 2-3 minutes. YOU'RE DONE!!!  This is restaurant quality, yummy, creamy, hearty soup! A meal all on it's own - yum!!!
