Broccoli Cheese Soup

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
I love broccoli cheese soup, but I am a really picky eater and I never found a recipe that I completely liked, so a couple of years ago I combined what I liked out of three different recipes and came up with this one. Even the kids request it often.
* Contributed by SF&SC Y-Group
== Ingredients ==
* 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
* ½ cup finely diced onion
* 1 cup water
* 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
* 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
* 3 cups milk
* 1 cup chopped ham For the ham if I have leftover good ham, I dice it and use it, or if I don't have any leftovers, I just use sliced ham from the deli counter and mince it up.
* salt and pepper
* ¼ cup flour
* 1 cup diced Velveeta
== Directions ==
# Place the potatoes, onion, water and chicken bouillon in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and boil for 10 minutes. 
# Add the broccoli, cover and boil for 10 more minutes. 
# Add 2½ cups of the milk, ham, salt and pepper and bring to a low boil. 
# Put the milk and flour in a container with a tight fitting lid and shake it until it is combined and add to the soup. 
# Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. 
# Add the Velveeta and stir until melted.
