ham and potato soup...

i made it all in the croc-pot.

15 diced potatoes (i used small red and didn't peel)
1 cup diced celery
chopped onion
2.5 lbs of diced ham
3 cups water
2 tb chicken bouillon granules
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

then in a sauce pan you make your white sauce

5 tb butter
5 tb flour
2 cups of milk

add to the croc-pot

cook on high for 5 hrs.
at the last 30 min. add 1/2 cup to a whole cup
of instant potato flakes to thicken up the soup

enjoy!

as seen in the picture i also made cheesy pockets.

1 bag of frozen bread loaves (3 loaves come in a bag)

let rise. cut ea. loaf into 5's.
roll out each piece and cut off a
piece of moz. cheese and put to one side of
the rolled piece and fold dough over it to
make a pocket with pinched edges.

bake at 350F for 15 minutes
