Ham and Cheddar Chowder

This soup is a huge favourite in my house. My girls and hubby love it. Not to mention a few others!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
1 cup onion minced

2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp dill weed (fresh is nice)

2 cups chicken stock

2 cups potatoes diced into bite size pieces
2 cups of cheddar
1 cup milk
1 cup diced ham, bite size pieces

Melt butter in a large pot, add the onion and let cook for a about 5 minutes stirring often so they don't burn. Add the flour and dill weed, and form your roux. Let the roux cook for about 2 minutes. Add in the chicken stock slowly, whisking out any chunks.
Add the diced potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are tender. Add in the milk, cheddar and ham. Let cook through.

As Always, Happy Eating.
