How to Make Warm Cheesy Potato Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup diced ham and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Pour in 4 cups of fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth.
  3. Add 2 pounds of peeled and diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. In a separate small saucepan, combine 1 cup skim milk and 1 cup cream of celery soup. Heat gently until warm.
  5. Add the cream mixture and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the potato mixture. Stir until cheese is melted and smooth.
  6. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (adjust to taste).
  7. Serve immediately with warm bread or rolls.
