One of my very favorite soups is Potato Soup. I like just about any way you can make it. But since I've become diabetic I have to be careful about too much of the goooood stuff! Here is a recipe that is hearty, tasty, and even we diabetics can enjoy it along with you lucky folks who aren't diabetic! Try this yummy soup soon. This Ham and Red Potato Soup has the added protein of the ham along with the milk making it diabetic friendly.
HAM & RED POTATO SOUP
1/2 lb cubed cooked ham
1 lb red potatoes (approx. 8 small) scrubbed and cut into cubes
2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 medium carrots, finely chopped
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp thyme
Place potatoes, water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to simmer, cover pan, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add celery, onions, and carrots. Cook, stirring vegetables, until tender. Stir in flour and stir to blend well. Add mixture to the potatoes in the saucepan. Stir in milk, 3/4 tsp salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly. Continue to cook and stir for a minute or until thickened. Remove from heat.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
Enjoy!
