• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat.
• Whisk in the flour and continue to stir constantly until the mixture thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
• Slowly add the milk to the butter/flour mixture, stirring the entire time so that you don't get any lumps. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens once again (takes about 3-5 minutes).
• Add in the cheese to the butter/flour/milk mixture and stir until it's completely melted.
• Pour the cheese mixture into the stock pot with the vegetables and ham and stir until completely incorporated. It will get thicker as it cools.
