My family loves potato soup so I experimented with adding a few other things. Ended up with a delicious soup that includes corn. My measurements are approximate. You can add more or less of each item based on your own preferences.

Steps

45 mins

1

In a large stock pot place oil, onion, celery and carrot. Cook over medium heat until translucent.
2

Add chicken broth and water to pot and heat until boiling.
3

Add potatoes, ham and corn. Heat until it returns to boiling then reduce heat to medium.
4

Cook until potatoes are tender approximately 10-15 minutes.
5

Add milk and stir well.
6

Then add salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and cheese. Cook until cheese melts.
7

Stir cornstarch and water mixture into soup until thickened. If necessary, you can add more cornstarch with cold water to further thicken soup. Be careful though and only add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixture at a time. If you add too much cornstarch it will be too thick.
8

Cook soup for about 10 more minutes.

Enjoy! It tastes even better the next day.
