Method

Put potatoes and carrots in a large soup pot and add just enough water to cover. Boil for 15 minutes, or until barely tender. Melt 1 Tb. margarine in a small skillet, add ham & onion. Saute until onions are tender and nearly transparent. When potatoes are just tender, stir in ham & onion mixture, corn, evaporated milk, milk, margarine, cubed cheese, and seasonings. Cook for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and heated throughout.

 

Notes: Sometimes I add a can of drained white whole kernel corn for extra sweetness & variety. It's also great topped with shredded cheddar cheese.
