Mom's Potato Soup

Love, love, love the soups my mom used to make when we were kids. Even now as an adult, when I'm sick I wish my mom lived closer so she could make me some of her chicken noodle soup. I'll post that one another day.

What you need for this super yummy soup!

5 medium potatoes, cubed/diced/sliced (whatever style you like)
1 medium onion, diced.
2 tsp salt
------(the amounts below are doubled from the original recipe because I like a lot of left overs)
6 T. butter
2 C. water
3 1/3 milk
Pepper
-----------
1 lb chopped/cubed ham (I bought a good size ham "butt" and cut it up)
1 C. sliced carrots   (I cut up 3 good size carrots)

I cook it all in a standard 5 qt pot.
(c) Keytee 2011

Boil potatoes, onions & salt until tender, drain, set aside.
Melt butter in pot, add milk, water, pepper to taste.
Return potatoes to pot, add ham & carrots, simmer 1/2 hour.

*I omit the onion and boil the carrots for a while with the taters to soften them up a bit, moving them to a bowl with a slotted spoon until ready to add them back in.
