This soup is creamy as well as hearty and filling; easy to prepare and budget-friendly. The corn adds a tiny bit of sweetness to the taste. For variety, you could probably add some peas and/or carrots; shredded cheddar for topping upon serving. Add some nice warm bread to accompany the meal.

Time 1h

Yield 2 quarts, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 celery ribs, diced
1/4 cup onion, diced
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
2 cups cooked ham, diced
2 cups potatoes, cooked and diced small
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can cream-style corn
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Boil water; meanwhile peel and dice potatoes.
  • Boil for about 10-15 minutes (soft but not too mushy).
  • Meanwhile, dice up ham, onion, celery.
  • In a large saucepan, saute the onion and celery in butter until softened.
  • Stir in the flour and stir until well blended, then gradually add milk.
  • Bring to a boil while stirring until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until heated through.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh corn and ham. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables to the soup, be sure not to overcrowd the pot. If you do, the vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices, depending on your personal preference.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavor.
  • Serve hot: Corn and ham chowder is best served hot, with a side of crackers or bread.

Conclusion:

Corn and ham chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, corn and ham chowder is a soup that everyone will enjoy.
