Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups nonfat milk
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper, or to taste
• 0.5 cup chopped carrots
• 0.33333334326744 cup diced celery
• 0.75 cup diced cooked ham

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine potatoes, carrots, green beans, celery, onion, ham, and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in chicken bouillon and pepper.

Step 2

Melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork and cook, stirring constantly, until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk so lumps do not form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour milk mixture into the stockpot and cook soup until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
