RICH POTATO SOUP WITH HAM BONE Recipe

Combine the water, vegetables, seasonings with the ham bone and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add the frozen corn. Remove the ham bone and cut off any extra ham to put into the soup. Add the evaporated milk. To slightly thicken, in a small bowl combine cornstarch and water. Add cornstarch mixture to soup. Stir to combine. Cook over medium heat to thicken, stirring constantly. Do not boil. You can top the soup with shredded Cheddar cheese if desired.
