Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['dairy_free'], recipe: peel, cube, boil, drain and "mush" potatoes to the consistency you like (i like them lumpy, but my kids like smaller pieces). in separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for about a minute or so. add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of flour mixture. add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to a boil. stir almost constantly or it will scorch. after boiling, turn heat off and add remaining ingredients.

Target recipe: boil the ham bone and the bay leaves in approximately 3 quarts of water for one hour. if your broth boils down too much you may need to add extra water. remove and cut the meat into chunks after your rich broth is made. add ham, onion, celery, potatoes, carrots, salt, pepper, cabbage and parsley to the broth. cook until veggies are done.
