Ham And Broccoli Soup

Peel the washed potato and cut into one-inch chunks. Put the pieces in a medium-size saucepan with the chicken broth and simmer until the potato is cooked through. This will take about 30 minutes.

Add the cooked broccoli and heat through. Put the soup in a blender and whirl for about 1 minute, until the potato is completely broken up and dispersed throughout the soup.

Return mixture to the pan and add the ham, milk, and seasonings. Simmer until hot but not boiling. Add croutons just before serving.
