Nordic Potato Soup With Ham Recipe

• 3 med thin-skinned potatoes 1 1/2 lbs total, peeled and diced (quartered, I do not peel)
• 1 lrg onion finely minced
• 1 x smoked ham hock (about 1 lb.) (I have used any leftover ham)
• 1 Tbsp. dry dill weed
• 2 tsp grated lemon peel (I have used lemon juice since I didn't have peel)
• 1/4 tsp grnd white pepper (black works)
• 2 1/2 c. chicken broth (I have used fat free bouillon cubes and water)
• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/2 c. whipping cream (if you double the recipe one carton works great)
