4. Transfer cooked veggies and bacon grease to the empty soup pot that the potatoes were in.
5. Add the 4 tbls flour to the veggies and stir to dissolve flour completely. Cook about 3 mins. (You may want to add a little more flour or bacon grease depending on consistency, but 4 n 4 works well)
6. Slowly add the saved water from the potatoes to the pot while stirring to combine. The mixture should be quite thick.
7. Add the chicken broth, ham, salt, pepper, cooked potatoes and crumbled bacon and return to simmer. Stir well to combine the liquids.
