The BEST Ham and Potato Soup ever!

I had this recipe recommended to me I had to change it up to make it gluten free. It's so delicious I had to quadruple the recipe because my kids ate 2 and 3 bowls each. Did I mention it only takes about 15 minutes to make?


You will need

5-1/4 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup and 2 tablespoons diced cooked ham
4-3/4 cups and 2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1-1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper, garlic powder and onion salt, oregano and parsley
1/3 cup butter
3-4 tbsp cornstarch
3 cups milk
3/4 cup low fat grated cheese

Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and 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 chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.

In a separate saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium-high heat. Once milk starts to boil whisk in cornstarch with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. You want this to be about as thick as pudding. Remove from heat and slowly add the grated cheese

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

This fed 6 with enough leftover to feed 4 kids the next day

Serve with GF bread or Buttered corn tortillas
