4 medium potatoes peeled and diced ▢12 ounces ham cooked and cubed ▢4 cups chicken broth ▢½ teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes) ▢½ teaspoon pepper ▢5 tablespoons butter ▢5 tablespoons all-purpose flour ▢2 ½ cups milk ▢1 cups cheddar cheese ▢scallions for garnish
Combine potatoes, ham, and broth in a large pot.
Bring to a boil, then cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes (or when potatoes are tender).
Add chicken broth, salt and pepper. Mix.
In another pan, melt butter on medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute. Slowly add milk and continue whisking until sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the milk mixture to your pot and cook the soup until heated through. Add cheese right before serving. Top with scallions and extra cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
