Potato & Ham Soup

I had LOTS of leftover ham so I decided to throw this soup together....it is DELICIOUS!!!

Ingredients:
Ham (chopped up - about 1 1/2 cups)
dried onion (about a tablespoon)
celery seed (a few dashes)
salt/pepper (to taste)
garlic powder (about a teaspoon)
carrot (one large - chopped)
4 small potatoes (peeled and chopped)
3 cups of water
3 chicken bullion cubes
2 cups of milk
1/2 stick of butter
3 tablespoons of flour

Directions:
In a big pot add potatoes, ham, carrots, water, dried onion, garlic powder, celery seed, salt/pepper and bring to boil. Let boil for about 10 minutes (until the potatoes are tender). Next add the chicken cubes and stir to dissolve...turn pot down to a simmer. In another pot (small one) melt butter (med heat) then whisk in flour to make a thick paste....once it's thick add the milk slowly, while continuing to whisk. Bring heat up to a med high heat on the milk...and whisk until it starts to thicken. Once it's thick add the milk mixture to the potato soup. Stir together and let simmer for about 15 minutes...add any salt or pepper if needed for taste:-)

Serve with cheese and green onions on top...YUM!!!!!!!!
