Delicious Soup

I made an absolutely delicious soup last night! I got it from The Girl Who Ate Everything Blog. It was to die for!! Here is the recipe
Creamy Ham and Potato Soup
3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/3 cup diced celery
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup carrot, diced (optional but I put them in)
1 cup diced cooked ham (buy a ham steak in the deli section)
3 1/4 chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground white or black pepper, (I used white pepper. Gives it a little kick)

5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk

Directions:
1.Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, carrot, ham and chicken broth in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper.

2.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 so that lumps don't form and until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.

3.Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through.

4. Top with cheddar cheese, chives, and bacon if desired. Serve immediately.

5. Makes 6 servings

I agree. Looks really good! I want to try it soon. Because I was having major pregnancy cravings and cooked a Christmas sized ham last week, we have some left over. And I was looking for an email addy on your blog...didn't find one so, Jason and I are sending smiles. :) :-)
