Cook time: 10-20 mins
Serves: 8
INGREDIENTS:
1 cups water
4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar
2 cups frozen corn
2 cups cooked ham, cubed
DIRECTIONS:
In a large saucepan over high heat, bring water, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, salt and pepper to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium pot over low heat, melt the butter. Blend in the flour, stirring constantly to make a rue. When the flour has thickened with the butter, add the milk all at once. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
Stir the cheese mixture into the un-drained veggies and return large saucepan to burner. Add corn and ham. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
