Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Onion chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 3 cups Milk
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 3 cups Potato peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups Ham cooked and cubed
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese (8 ounces)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Green Onions optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium heat, saute the onion and garlic in the oil until softened but not browned.
  • Sprinkle with flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring well.
  • Slowly add the stock, stirring well to prevent lumps, then stir in the milk.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. Add the carrots and potatoes.
  • Simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Test potatoes for tenderness, then stir in ham and cheese.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with green onions, if desired, and serve.

Notes

  • Want to make this gluten free? Sauté the onion in just 1 tablespoon of oil. Leave out the flour. Proceed with recipe as usual. Before adding ham and cheese, mash some of the potatoes to thicken the soup.
