Ham Potato Soup

I found this recipe here - http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/delicious-ham-and-potato-soup/Detail.aspx

• 4 cups peeled and diced potatoes
• sliced carrots
• broccoli
• corn
• 1/3 cup diced celery (I used celery seed)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, or more
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 4 cups water
• 2 1/2 Tbsp chicken bouillon granules
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• shredded cheddar cheese, optional

1. Saute onion in a little butter in large stockpot
2. Add the potatoes, celery, carrots, ham and water. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes and carrots are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.
3. Add whatever else sounds good-broccoli and corn
4. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through.
6. Serve with a little cheese sprinkled on top
