Ham and Potato Chowder
5 oz. pkg. dry scalloped potatoes
1 ham bone
1 cup coarsely chopped ham
4-1/2 to 5 cups chicken broth
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, shredded or chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/8 tsp. pepper
Mix together in a 3 1/2 to 4 quart crockpot or slow cooker. Cover and cook on "low" for 7 hours.
In separate bowl mix together real well:
2 cups skim milk or regular milk or half & half and
1/3 cup all purpose flour
Gradually stir this into crockpot, blending well. Cover and continue to cook on "low" for 1 hour, stirring occasionally - mixture will have thickened a bit and vegetables will be tender.
