Steps:
- Cook diced potatoes in saucepan with just enough water to cover.
- When tender, drain the liquid from the potatoes and save.
- Set both aside while making roux.
- In large saucepan, melt margarine.
- Saute the chopped green onions until tender.
- Remove onion from pan and set aside.
- Add flour to melted margarine and stir until incorporated.
- Cook over medium heat until the roux begins to just turn a golden color.
- Using a whisk, stir in 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of the saved potato liquid.
- Whisk until smooth and no lumps are seen.
- Bring just to a boil or until the soup thickens.
- Add the diced ham, cooked onion and the Swiss cheese. Also, add back in the cooked potatoes.
- Stir until cheese is melted.
- Add salt& pepper to your preference.
- I usually add 1 teaspoons.
- salt and 1/2 teaspoons.

- If soup is too thick, you may add the final cup of milk.
- My bunch likes it thick.
