Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Peel the potatoes.

Dice the potatoes and place them in a stock pot.

Dice 1/3 cup of celery and chop 1/3 cup of onion.

Add the celery and onion to the stock pot.

Dice 1/3 cup of cooked ham and add it to the stock pot.

Cover everything with 3 and 1/4 cups of water.

Bring the ingredients to a boil.

Continue to simmer the pot over medium heat until the potatoes are tender (about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the dice).

Stir in 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon and salt and pepper to taste.

In a separate saucepan, melt 5 teaspoons of butter over medium low heat.

Whisk in 5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for about a minute until thickened (this is called a roux).

Slowly stir in 2 cups of milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Continue to cook the milk mixture over medium low heat for about 4 to 5 minutes until it thickens, stirring constantly to keep it smooth.

Stir the milk mixture into the stock pot and continue to cook for about 5 minutes longer.

Serve the soup immediately with some toasted bread.

Chop some chives or scallions for garnish.
