Potato Soup

Serves 4

Ingredients:
3 medium red potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups of water

1 small onion
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
1/8 –1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/8 –1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 –1/4 tsp salt
2 cups milk
½ tsp sugar
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup diced thin ham (I used really nice deli meat ham)
-Combine water and potatoes in pot and boil, until potatoes are tender, not mushy. Drain and keep the liquid. Set aside potatoes. In pot melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Watch butter so it doesn’t burn. Add flour, season with pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Cook a couple minutes. Add 1 cup of reserved cooking liquid, milk, sugar, and potatoes to onions. Stir & add cheese and ham. Over low heat simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. This is really yummy. (may add more salt, pepper & red pepper flakes if desired) (If too thick add more milk)Probably could also do this in crock pot.
