Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

2 cups peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
½ cup sliced carrots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups frozen corn
1 ½ cups cubed fully cooked ham
¼ cup butter
¼ cup cornstarch
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

Combine potatoes, broth, carrots, and garlic in a large pot and bring to a boil. Stir in salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes and carrots are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add corn and ham. Reduce heat to the lowest setting.
While soup simmers, melt butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in cornstarch. Add milk and whisk to combine. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese and stir until melted, about 2 minutes.
Pour cheese mixture into the pot with soup. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes more, or until ready to serve.
