Assembly Directions:

Place potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, water, chicken bouillon, thyme, parsley and ham in a large stock pot. Bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. In a separate bowl mix together the evaporated milk and flour until there are no lumps. Add to the soup and stir in completely. Continue to cook until the soup has thickened slightly.

Freezing Directions:

Cool soup completely. Divide into family-sized portions in freezer bags or rigid containers. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Thaw completely. Reheat over low in a saucepan or reheat in the microwave.

Comments:

You can reduce the sodium in this recipe by using reduced sodium chicken bouillon. Serve this soup with a big salad to round out the meal.

Update: I made a whole 10 qt. full of this soup, and there once again, is only enough for 5 bowls left. So lunch it is...so between this and the taco soup, nothing to freeze, but 2 meals and 1 of them was shared with friends! What more can you ask for!
