Makes 4-6 servings

From my bff, and you guys always liked it.

ingredients

2 cups cooked ham, cut into cubes
2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. flour
3 cups milk
4 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 cup chicken broth (adding a whole can also works)

directions

Combine potatoes, water, onion, celery, salt, and pepper in a large pot. Cook (simmer) until vegetables are tender. In bowl, mix flour and 1 cup of the milk, blending well. Add this mixture and the butter, broth, ham, and remaining milk to pot. Simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes until thickened and heated through. Cool slightly before serving. Soup will thicken a bit more as it cools.
