Potato Ham Chowder

I always have to get this recipe from my sister when I have leftover ham. I'm posting it while the chowder is simmering, so I'll have it next time!

1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 medium potato, cubed

1 cup water

1 packet McCormick Original Gravy Mix
2 cups milk
1 bayleaf
1-2 cups diced ham

Sautee onion in olive oil for about 3 minutes.
Add cubed potato and water. Boil for 5 minutes until potatoes begin to soften.
Combine gravy mix and milk, then add to pot.
Add the bayleaf, reduce heat to low and simmer 10-15 minutes.
Add ham last.
