Ham and Potato Soup

I love love love soups and this is one of the best and easiest ones out there.  My friend Shawni brought it to us once after a sick spell and it was the most comforting thing.  It is still one of my favorite go to soups.

1 Yellow Onion
1 Stick of Butter
1/4 C. Flour
1 C. Milk
8 C. Ck Broth
1-3 Cups Cheddar Cheese
4-6 Potatoes (cubed )
1 C. Ham (diced)
Bacon Crumbles ( to taste )
1 C, Corn
1 C. Broccoli

Chop Onion and saute'e it in about one stick of butter.  When it is all cooked and butter is all melted, I add 1/4 C. Flour and coat the onions.  Then you add 1 cup milk and 4 cups ck broth.  Once the flour mixture is all incorporated, you add 1-3 Cups Cheddar Cheese.  I do the cheese to taste.  Mix until melted and well incorporated.  Add 4 additional cups of ck broth.  Add corn and broccoli, cubed potatoes,diced ham,and bacon crumbles.  Let simmer about 30 min or until potatoes and vegetables are cooked.  Salt and Pepper to taste.

Thank you Shawni!!!
