Ingredients
3 1/2cupspotatoespeeled and diced , I used a mixture of yellow and red. Yellow are more creamy I have also taken to using half cauliflower instead to increase the nutrients...no one can tell the difference!
2/3cupcelerydiced
1mediumonionchopped
1poundcooked hamI used thinly sliced deli ham, bite size pieces
2cupsunsweetened non-dairy milk**I used unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk, in the green carton
1teaspoonblack pepperor to taste
1/2teaspoonsea saltor to taste. Will depend on if the broth is salted or not, taste and decide.
Optional Garnishes:
cooked chopped baconshredded cheese, sliced green onions
Instructions
Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham, and broth of choice in a stockpot.
Bring to a boil and gently simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Lightly mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher, right inside the stockpot, no need to remove them first. This mashing helps deliver the dairy-free creaminess to the soup. Alternately, you can use to get it extra smooth (see notes above, ham will need to withheld if you want to puree and added in after)
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to remove any lumps. Add to the stockpot and whisk to blend.
Pour in the milk while whisking.
Cook until smooth, thick, and creamy.
Add in salt and pepper to taste, and pinch of cayenne wouldn't hurt either!
