Ingredients

3 ½ cups peeled and diced potatoes
1 cup diced cauliflower
1 cup frozen corn
¾ cup diced cooked ham
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
⅓ cup diced celery
3 cloves garlic, diced
4 cups water, or as needed to cover
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk

Steps:

Combine potatoes, cauliflower, corn, cooked ham, onion, celery, and garlic in a large soup pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir chicken bouillon, salt, and white pepper into mixture.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk in flour to make a paste. Cook for 1 minute and gradually whisk milk into flour mixture until smooth. Continue cooking until thick, 4 to 5 minutes, whisking often.
Stir milk mixture into soup and cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.
