Ham and Potato Soup

This was lots of fun to make and turned out really well. It was even BETTER next day!

1 1/2 lbs ham
6 medium potatoes
2 cans of chicken broth
2 cans of cream of celery soup
1 can of corn (leave in the juice)
1 can cream of corn
1 pkg shredded colby jack cheese
3 tbs butter
3 tbs flour
milk

Cut ham and potatoes into bite size chunks, add to crock pot. In a separate mixing bowl add chicken broth, soup and both cans of corn. Mix well then add to the crockpot. In a small saucepan melt butter, add flour to create a roux, add milk to desired thickness then add to crock pot. Cook on low for 8 hours, half hour before it's done add the bag of shredded colby jack. ENJOY!

This feed my husband, daughter and myself 3 times so it's great for leftovers or to feed LOTS of people :)

First things first

I love to share recipes so I thought it would be fun to put together a blog of stuff I 'threw together' with what I just happened to have on hand or only having to buy just a few things. One thing I want to say is that I don't measure seasonings, I kind of just add to taste. So if you are trying one of my dishes just add a little at a time! I hope you enjoy and keep in mind that if you want to tweak the recipe go for it! Make it healthier with a lighter cut of meat, use low fat or fat free ingredients, add more veggies, add less veggies. Make it your own, that's half the fun!
