Ham Cauliflower Chowder image

I came up with this recipe myself when I had a ham hock and wanted to make something other than the usual split pea soup. The resulting chowder was satisfying and good-tasting. Mashed potatoes help give it a rich, creamy texture.

This soup was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used store-bought ham. I'll try making it again with homemade ham next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.
