HAM CHOWDER



Ham Chowder image

I made the recipe up with leftovers I had one day. It's a ham and potato based soup with leeks, onions, rosemary, cream, bacon, and carrots. The ham and bacon give this soup a smoky taste while the cream gives it a rich texture. Chowder is better served the next day.

Categories     Chowders

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 slice(s) bacon
1 large purple or white onion (diced)
1 pound(s) fresh asparagus, diced into 1-inch pieces
1 cup(s) cubed ham
4 large white mushrooms
1 quart(s) chicken stock (homemade is best)
1 can(s) whole kernel corn (15 oz.) drained. (i prefer libby's)
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
3 - green onions (spring onions)
1/3 cup(s) sour cream (i use crema mexicana)
1/2 cup(s) whole milk or half & half (i used soy milk because that's what we had.)
1/3 bag(s) frozen tater tots

Steps:

  • Preheat oven and follow package directions for oven-baking the tater tots. Be baking them as you prepare the chowder.
  • Chop bacon into large pieces and fry them over Medium heat in the pot you're going to cook the chowder in. (I use a Dutch Oven.) Once bacon starts to get crispy edges, add the onion. (Sprinkle salt on the onion to bring out the moisture.) Stir occasionally.
  • Chop asparagus and set aside. When onions become transparent, deglaze the pan with a touch of the chicken stock to get all the yummy bits off the bottom of your pan/pot.
  • Add asparagus pieces and stir fry for about 1-2 mins. SEASON. (Always season with salt and pepper as you go along to layer the flavours.)
  • Add cubed ham and stir. Let these ingredients cook together while slicing your mushrooms. Add mushrooms and stir together.
  • Pour in the chicken stock. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Add corn and green onions. Reduce heat and boil lightly for 5 minutes, covered.
  • Stir in Cream of Chicken soup and sour cream until completely combined with no lumps. Then, add the milk or half & half. Stir.
  • Reduce heat again to very low, cover, and allow to lightly simmer while the tater tots finish baking. If the tots are already done, simmer chowder for about 10 minutes anyway.
  • Allow tots to cool enough to be handled. Break them in half and add them to the chowder.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve with corn bread and top each bowl with a sprig of fresh herb, such as: parsley, thyme, rosemary or dill.
