Soup's on

Mennonite girls can cook is one of my favourite blogs to follow. Each day different women post a variety of super-yummy recipes. This was one that I just had to try. Potato & Ham Chowder
1 pkg. of boxed scalloped potatoes (any variety you choose)
1 cup diced ham
2 stalk of diced celery
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 cups half & half
1/3 cup flour
5 cups chicken broth
1 diced onion (any size you like)
Mix potatoes, sauce mix, ham, broth, celery & onion in crock pot. Cover and cook on low heat for 7 hours. Mix half & half with the flour and gradually stir flour mixture into chowder until blended. Cover and cook on low for one more hour stirring occasionally until thick. Garnish with chopped green onions, shredded cheese or sour cream if desired.

Can there be anything better than warm chowder on a cold day?
