Chunky Potato Soup

4 cups water

5 medium potatoes

1 chopped onion

5 tbsp. butter

5 tbsp. flour

6 cups milk

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

2 cups cubed cooked ham

1 tbsp. chicken soup base

1 tbsp. seasoning salt

ground black pepper

parsley (optional)

Bring water to boil in a pot and add the potatoes. Cook until tender.drain potatoes , reserving the cooking liquid. Set aside.

Melt butter in saucepan and add onions, cook untill tender. Add flour, soup base and seasong salt to pan and black pepper to taste. Cook about 2 minutes.

Measure 2 cups of the cooking liquid back into potatoes. (add water if you don't have enough cooking liquid.) Then add your onion mixture, cheese and ham to the potatoes. Simmer over low heat about 20-30 minutes.

Garnish with parsley which I didn't have at this time. You could also add some cooked brocolli instead of ham. I think I actually prefer that.
