Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - ¼ cup butter
  • - ¼ cup flour
  • - 4 cups milk
  • - 1 teaspoon salt
  • - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • - ¾ teaspoon garlic salt
  • - ¼ cup chopped onions
  • - ¾ lb. ham cubed
  • - 2 cups cooked potatoes
  • - 1 cup cooked carrots
  • - ½ pound melting cheese

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to heat it until it turns a light brown color, being careful not to burn it.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes to create a roux, ensuring that it doesn't clump together.
  • Gradually add the milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Then, add in the salt, black pepper, garlic salt, and chopped onions.
  • Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat and add the cubed ham, cooked potatoes, and cooked carrots. Allow the soup to heat through for approximately 15 minutes.
  • Finally, add the melting cheese, stirring gently to incorporate it into the soup. Be careful not to let the soup boil after adding the cheese; instead, let it simmer on medium heat until the cheese is fully melted.
