Potato Soup

1 cup of milk
2 tbsp butter
1 med onion diced
1/2 cup of ham (optional)
8 med potatoes, diced
S & P




Sweat the onions in the butter till translucent. Add & cook potatoes in just enough water to cover them. Cook till they are fork tender. Leave them in the liquid & mash until they are half lumpy, half creamy. Add cooked chopped ham & milk, stir. Let sit for 15 min before serving.

***Great with cornbread. Also, the last time I made it, I had cooked a ham a couple of months before, so I had cut up some of it & put it in the freezer just to use for this soup. So with the holidays coming up, there is sure to be leftover ham. So, freeze some. This is a cheap meal.
