I just made this yesterday and thought I'd share it. Who couldn't use a cozy bowl of comfort on a chilly fall day?

Potato and Ham Soup

• 4 medium russet potatos, peeled, then halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/8 inch thick pieces
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 a hamsteak, cut in small cubes
• 4 Tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 gallon 2% milk
• Dash of nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Cut potatos as directed above. In LARGE saucepan, melt butter. Add chopped onion and cook on medium heat until softened. Add flour and stir until well mixed. Add enough milk to thoroughly smooth the flour(a whisk is useful for this). Continue to slowly add milk, then constantly stir until thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the potatos, ham, dash of nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until potatos are tender, stirring occasionally, about 20-25 minutes. Serve with nice crusty French bread. SERVES 8.
