 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      tablespoon    ham base
  1      quart         chicken base
  6      tablespoons   margarine -- divided
    1/4  pound         yellow onion diced
  1      pound         potato diced
    3/4  teaspoon      ground black pepper
  1 1/2  ounces        flour
  1      cup           milk
                       chopped parsley for garnish

Combine ham and chicken bases in a saucepan and whish until no lumps appear.
Melt 3 tablespoons margarine in a stockpot and sauté onions until transparent.
Add potato and pepper and stir until completely mixed. Add chicken and ham
stock and stir until mixture begins to boil. While mixture is boiling,
microwave the remaining 3 tablespoons margarine 20 seconds or until melted.
Whisk flour into melted margarine and stir until it forms a roux into the
stock. The soup will start to thicken. Bring soup back to a boil, then slowly
add the milk, whisking constantly. When milk is incorporated remove from heat.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve. The Houston Chronicle suggests that
the bases may not be available in supermarkets, they suggest that you use
chicken broth and a piece of ham.
