Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 ribs celery sliced
- 3 large carrots shredded
- 2 large potatoes peeled and cubed into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp minced garlic

- 2 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 3 cups whole milk
- Shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- To a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat, add the oil and butter. Once the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add in the onion, celery, and carrots for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in the potatoes, minced garlic, and ham. After one minute, stir in the flour and let it become a golden color. Slowly stir in the chicken broth, stirring constantly so no flour clumps form.
