- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 8 stalks of celery chopped
- 1/2 cup spicy mustard okay to sub regular mustard
- 2 pounds red skin potatoes cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 8 cups 64 ounces chicken broth, more if needed
- 2 pounds thick-cut ham cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 lemons juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped, for garnish
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent or just starting to brown. Add the garlic and celery and saute until fragrant, about 2 more minutes. Stir in the mustard and toss so that everything is well coated.
Add the chopped potatoes to the pot and cover in the chicken broth. Cover and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Add the ham and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Turn the heat off, add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and taste to determine if it needs any additional seasoning.
Garnish with the chives and enjoy!
