Potato & Ham soup

Ingredients
a tablespoon of butter
a small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup of thyme
2 medium potatos, cubed
2 glasses of chicken stock
3 slices of ham, chopped
a glass of milk
2 teaspoons of cornflour
pepper to taste
salt to taste
1/4 cup of parsley

Method
Melt the butter on low heat in the saucepan Add the onion and let it cook till it is translucent. Add the thyme, stir a few times, then add the potato with pepper and salt. When the potato starts cooking, add the chicken stock and let it boil. Once the potato is cooked, add the ham, then add the cornflour and stir till it thickens. Turn the heat back to low. Add the milk and heat the mixture stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat when the first bubble appears. Serve garnished with the parsley.

Note:
I used a finely chopped green chilli along with the potato & cut down on the pepper.

Serving suggestion:
I served the soup with toasted garlic cheese bread.
