Ham and Potato Soup

I found this soup on Pinterest and made it today while I was home with a cold.  It was hearty, delicious, and received David's stamp of approval.  The original recipe is here:  http://www.wwrecipes.net/ham-potato-soup.html and includes nutrition information.  I altered it just slightly to fit our taste.

2-3 large diced yellow potatoes with skin on (about 1 inch pieces)
1/2 bag frozen carrots
2-3 c. ham, diced
1/2 bag frozen corn
Chicken broth or water to cover (Jamison's soup base if using water)
Pepper
Onion powder
Garlic powder

2 T butter
3 T flour
1/2 cup cooking liquid
1/2 cup milk

Combine the first 8 ingredients in a 3 quart crock pot.  Cook on low 8 hours.  Use remaining ingredients to create a "cream of" soup.  Add to soup in crock pot and continue to cook on low another 15-30 minutes.  We had ours with cornbread on the side.
