| 2 cups cooked ham, diced |
| 3 cans (14.5 oz) chicken broth |

Ham & Potato Soup Directions
- Combine potatoes, celery, onion, ham and chicken broth in a large pot. Bring to a boil then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a separate sauce pan, while soup is cooking, create the roux ("roo"). Melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork and cook stirring constantly until thick, 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly stir milk into the roux as not to allow lumps, until all milk has been added.
- Continue stirring over medium-low heat until roux is thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Once potatoes are soft, stir chicken bouillon, salt and pepper into soup.
- Once roux is thick, stir the roux into the soup and cook until heated through.
- Serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings or just enjoy plain.
