Ham and cheese potato soup

Salt and boil potatoes for about 10 minutes

Sautee the onion and crisp the ham

Drain potatoes reserving about 2 cups of the cooking water(I usually add 2 chicken boulion cubes for extra flavor)

In the stockpot combine butter and flour to make a rue.

Add milk water and seasonings and bring to boil stirring constantly then reduce to simmer

Add in ham n onions the cheese and the cream of celery and mushrooms and mix well

Add the cooked potatoes back and season to taste. Let simmer about 30-40 minutes and ENJOY
