Bower Hill Recipes - Soups, Stews & Salads

Ham and Potato Soup INGREDIENTS: 3 & 1/2 cups of peeled & diced potatoes 1/3 cup finely chopped onion 3/4 cup diced cooked ham 3 & 1/4 cups water 3 or 4 bouillon cubes 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour 2 cups milk DIRECTIONS: Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham & 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 bouillon cubes, salt & pepper. Simmer until bouillon is fully disolved. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour 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. Previous Page Return Home
