Ingredients:

The best way to start this soup is with the leftovers of a full sized ham. Trim the ham off the bone as much as easily comes off. I don’t try to get anymore than that because it will come off when I boil it and I can use it for the soups I make. This should give you plenty of ham for some great sandwiches and delicious ham soups.

Put the ham bone in a stock pot big enough to hold it. Put enough water in the pot so the top couple of inches of ham are showing above the water but it won't boil over. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 6-8 hours or until the ham just falls off the bone. DO NOT DISCARD THE DELICIOUS HAM BROTH YOU JUST CREATED. That broth makes the soup all the more delicious.

Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham, broth, salt & pepper in a stock pot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer on low until potatoes are tender, about 30 min.

Remove about a cup of broth and whisk 3 Tbls of flour into it. Whisk it well so you don’t have lumps. Return this to the pot along with the milk and simmer another 20 min or so till it thickens a bit.

After Christmas I always make two soups with the leftover ham. I make this one for me and it is delicious!
