SMOKED HAM N CHEESE POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Add potatoes, onion and celery to a med/large pot; add just enough stock to cover potatoes.
• 2. Over a medium heat; cook until potatoes start to get tender. Add ham and cheese. Reduce heat and continue to simmer.
• 3. I like to thicken this soup so I make a paste with the flour and cream. Use about 1/4 of cup of the cream to make the paste. Once creamy and no lumps stir in remaining cream; stir this mixture into soup. Continue to cook just until it begins to thicken and potatoes are tender. Don't over cook. Serve with a nice hot buttered crusty roll if desired.
