Potato Soup

My family loves this potato soup. It is really easy. Let me know what you think.

1/2 C butter
1 chopped onion
1 cup diced ham
1/2 c flour
4 large potatoes
6 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 cup frozen corn (sweet white corn is my favorite)

Melt butter. Saute onion and ham in butter until onion is translucent.
Stir in flour. Stir constantly for one minute. ( It will be a thick paste )
Add broth, milk, potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil and stir often. The potatoes tend to stick to the bottom of the pan if not stirred frequently. Add corn about 10 minutes before serving. If soup gets thicker than you would like add some water to thin it out.

Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, and croutons. I know the croutons sound a bit weird but it is really good to throw a few on top. It add a crunch texture that is awesome. Also- another way to make it is to leave the ham out of the soup. You can garnish it with bacon bits on top at the end. Really good either way. Sorry- I forgot to take a picture.
