Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Yukon Gold Potatoes, diced (1.5 lbs)
  • 3 1/4 cups Water
  • 3 Smoked Pork Neck Bones
  • 1 1/2 cups Ham, diced (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup Celery, diced (1 Celery Rib)
  • 3/4 cup Onions, diced (1/2 medium onion)
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 8 tbsp Salted Butter
  • 5 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Milk warmed
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep vegetables by cleaning and dicing celery and onions. Peel and dice potatoes. Set aside. Mince garlic and set aside. Dice leftover cooked ham, set aside.
  • In a large dutch oven or stockpot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add onions and celery, stirring until the onions begin to sweat. Add garlic until fragrant, then pour in 3 1/4 cups of water along with the pork neck bones and diced ham. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes to create a rich, flavorful pork broth.
  • Add diced potatoes to the pot and continue cooking until the potatoes are fork tender. In a separate saucepan, melt 5 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in 5 tablespoons of flour to form a roux, then slowly stir in 2 cups of milk. Cook until thickened, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the neck bones from the broth and slowly stir in the creamy roux mixture. Let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency. Ladle into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings such as chopped bacon, shredded cheese, green onions, or a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
