HAM AND CORN CHOWDER



Ham and Corn Chowder image

My mother is an excellent cook who rarely follows a recipe exactly. My two sisters and I do the same thing, adding something here, omitting something there. With this soup, I sometimes leave out the bacon and butter, and have used canned corn and creamed corn with good results. We like to eat this soup with big soft hot pretzels instead of crackers. -Sharon Rose Brand, Stayton, Oregon

CREAMY HAM AND CORN CHOWDER



Creamy Ham and Corn Chowder image

This is a recipe I came up with a few years ago when I had a leftover ham bone from dinner, and it's wonderfully tasty. Good for using the leftovers after Christmas or Easter dinners. Serve with good, crusty bread and be ready to provide seconds. :)

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Chowders

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ham bone, with at least 1 cup of meat remaining on bone
water, to cover
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
1 1/2 cups frozen corn or 1 (15 ounce) can corn
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes or 1/4 cup freshly minced onion
1 -2 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
paprika, to taste

Steps:

  • On a firm non-breakable surface, take a clean hammer and crack the middle of the ham bone so that marrow can escape during cooking.
  • Place ham bone flat in the bottom of a pot and add enough water to just cover.
  • Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes.
  • Remove bone and cut off the remaining tender ham meat; set meat aside.
  • Turn up the heat on the ham broth and reduce down until you have about a couple of cups of broth, or to desired strength.
  • Skim the fat from the broth.
  • Melt butter in a large pan; remove from heat and mix in flour until smooth.
  • Slowly add 1 cup milk, stirring constantly.
  • Return pan to stove and cook on low heat until milk thickens.
  • Stir the corn, the ham pieces you set aside earlier, dried minced onion, and minced garlic into thickened milk; then slowly stir in the remaining milk and the ham broth.
  • Cook on low for about 15 minutes, but do not boil.
  • Add salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
  • *Note: how much meat you leave on the bone is up to you, but I like to have a couple of cups of ham bits mixed into this chowder.
  • Optional: you can add a cup of cooked, chopped potato chunks to the soup near the end of the cooking, if you like.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of your chowder, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken stock, vegetable stock, or even ham stock. If you're using canned stock, be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: Adding the vegetables in stages will help them to cook evenly. Start with the vegetables that take the longest to cook, such as potatoes and carrots. Then, add the vegetables that cook more quickly, such as corn and peas.
  • Season to taste: Don't forget to season your chowder to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.

Conclusion:

This creamy chicken, corn, and ham chowder is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It's hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. You can also experiment with different vegetables or seasonings to create your own unique chowder. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this creamy chicken, corn, and ham chowder a try. You won't be disappointed!
