- 5 Yukon Gold Potatoes or other starchy potatoes, chopped into one inch cubes
- 1/2 small white onion, diced
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 2 cups chopped ham
- 3-1/2 cups chicken stock
- Salt and pepper, to taste (I like a lot of pepper)
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup half and half or single cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- cheddar cheese and chives for garnish
Instructions
- Add vegetables and ham to chicken stock in a medium pot. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Season to taste.
- In the meantime, melt butter over medium low heat in a small sauce pan. Add flour and whisk to combine. Allow this mixture to cook for about 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in milk and half and half, then add garlic powder. Allow this mixture to come to a boil then reduce to a simmer until it thickens.
- Once the potatoes are soft, add the milk mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Check for seasoning, and let this all cook together for a couple more minutes.
- Top with cheddar cheese and green onions, and serve with crusty bread.
