Cheddar Ham Chowder

Good Golly, Miss Molly, this is DELICIOUS! My friend Sally has a food blog that I love stealing recipes from. There are usually pretty straight forward and ALWAYS right up my food loving alley. This recipe though, this recipe blew my socks away I was so surprised at how much I loved it.

2 1/2 cups water

2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 cup sliced carrots

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 cup butter

1/4 flour

2 cups milk

2 cups cheddar cheese

16 oz frozen corn

1 1/2 cups cubed ham

Bring water, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, salt and pepper to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes or until veggies are tender. Set aside; do not drain. In second pan, melt butter; blend in flour. Add milk; cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Add cheese and stir until melted. Put cheesy mixture in with veggies and broth; add corn and ham. Heat thoroughly, stirring occasionally.

Tastes even better the second day!
