  3 1/2 cups   peeled and diced potatoes
  1/3 cup   diced celery
  1/3 cup   finely chopped onion
  3/4 cup   diced cooked ham
  3 1/4 cup   water
  2 tbsp   chicken boullion granules
  1/2 tsp   salt
  1 tsp   pepper
  5 tbsp   butter
  5 tbsp   all-purpose flour

Directions:
  1.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.
2.In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute.
