Ham Veggie Cheese Potato Soup

Image
So this is my newest creation!  I am known in my family for "making" recipes...that I later can't repeat LOL.  On Christmas Eve I wanted to make Ham and Potato soup.  I messaged my sister for the recipe she uses.  But she didn't get back to me in time.  So...here is what we ended up with.  And it was DELICIOUS! (this is whats left) 6 potatoes chopped and peeled 1 cup of baby carrots chopped 1 cup of celery chopped 1/2 cup of corn 1 cup of ham torn up, cut up, cubed...whatever put in pot of water and boiled in sauce pan I combined 2c water, 12/c flour, and  3T corn starch...continue stiring until thick paste add to pot of potatoes and veggies Stir in well Add 1c cheddar cheese Add in (to taste, how ever much you feel is right for your family.  We lean toward lost of garlic) garlic, black pepper, salt, basil, dried onion, parsley Let simmer for 30 minutes YUM!!

Ornaments

We made our own ornaments tonight out of Corn Starch and Baking Soda.  Was fun and easy!  Added cinnamon for color!  The Modge Podge smeared the pictures but they still turned out pretty cute.  If anyone has any ideas of how NOT to get the pictures to smear let me know!
