Grandma's secret: To make this a filling meal, Grandma usually served this soup with fresh bread. For a slightly different twist, serve it in individual bread bowls. I'm thinkin' this could easily be done in the crock pot. Ingredients:
3 medium red potatoes |
2 cups water |
1 small onion |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
crushed red pepper flakes |
ground black pepper |
3 cups milk |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1 cup cooked ham, cubed |
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. Bring water to a boil in large saucepan. Add potatoes and cook until tender.
3. Drain, reserving liquid. Set aside potatoes.
4. Measure 1 cup cooking liquid, adding water, if necessary; set aside.
5. Peel and finely chop onion. Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
6. Add onion to saucepan; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and tender, but not brown.
7. Add flour to saucepan; season with pepper flakes and black pepper to taste. Cook 3 to 4 minutes.
8. Gradually add potatoes, reserved 1 cup cooking liquid, milk and sugar to onion mixture in saucepan; stir well. Add cheese and ham.
9. Simmer over low heat 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
10. Store leftovers, covered in refrigerator.
