Method

Cut kernels from cobs using a sharp knife, reserve kernels and the cobs. In a medium saucepan over medium heat melt butter. Stir in onion; cook and stir until tender about 5 min. In a bowl thoroughly combine milk with flour stir into saucepan add reserved corn cobs, potatoes, ham and cook until potatoes are tender, approximately 30 min. Remove cobs and add corn, return to boil and then simmer for 15 min.

Notes: This isn't too thick of a soup, so I like to add corn starch to thicken it a little.
