HAM AND CORN CHOWDER WITH POTATO



Ham and Corn Chowder with Potato image

A hearty, creamy soup made using leftover Christmas ham (or store bought leg ham). Refer to Note 5 for a shortcut way of making this soup which will let you get this soup on the table in just 15 minutes. Make this a more complete meal by adding extra vegetables! I often add frozen diced vegetables - just add it when you add the corn into the soup. This serves 3 normal people or 2 very hungry people. It is a very filling soup!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups ham (, roughly chopped (Note 1))
1/2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove (, minced)
1 small onion (, diced (or half large onion) (yellow, brown or white))
2 potatoes (, peeled and diced into 8mm / 1/3" cubes (Note 2))
1 1/2 cups frozen corn ((or drained canned corn))
5 tbsp flour
2 cups milk ((I use low fat but full fat will work too))
1 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 - 2 cups water
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves ((or 1 tsp dried thyme), plus extra for garnish)
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Do not let the onion brown.
  • Add the flour and whisk until mixed through the butter. Pour 1 cup of milk in and whisk until it starts to thicken (around 1 1/2 minutes), then pour the remaining cup of milk in. Whisk until it thickens - around 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Then add the chicken stock, and 1 1/2 cups of water and whisk until combined.
  • Increase heat to medium high and add the potatoes into the soup. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes (Note 3), whisking fairly regularly to ensure the soup doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan. The soup will thicken as it cooks. Use the remaining 1/2 cup of water if the soup gets too thick before the potato has finished cooking.
  • Just before the potato has finished cooking, add the corn in (just to heat it through).
  • While the potato is cooking, heat olive oil in a small fry pan over high heat. Add the ham and sauté for 1 - 2 minutes until nicely browned. Remove fry pan from the heat and set aside. (Note 4)
  • When the potato is cooked (tender but still holding its shape), remove the soup from the stove and stir through most of the thyme and ham (reserve a bit for garnish).
  • If the soup is too thick for your liking, use water (or milk) to get the soup to your desired consistency. Add the salt and 5 grinds of black pepper, then do a taste test and adjust the saltiness if required.
  • Serve, garnished with remaining thyme leaves and ham.

POTATOES AND CORN SOUP



Potatoes and Corn Soup image

I made up this recipe when I had none of the ingredients I needed! Your family will love this one, and you'll be able to make something else while this is cooking. Great with breadsticks! Serve alone, with a dollop of sour cream, or some grated cheese and pepper.

2 cubes chicken bouillon

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn. Fresh corn is always best, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When adding the vegetables to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste. Once the soup is finished cooking, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately. Corn soup is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Corn soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn.
