HAM, POTATO, CORN AND SPINACH CHOWDER

Steps:

• melt about 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan (real butter is sooo much better than margarine, trust me on this).
• add in about a teaspoon of onion flakes to rehydrate and soften.
• when the butter gets a bit brown add 2 tablespoons of flour.
• whisk together until you have "cooked" the flour (about 30 seconds).
• add 2 cups of milk and whisk until smooth.
• add a cup of chicken broth. I actually used chicken bouillon because that is what I had.
• add one heaping tablespoon of greek sour cream (see notes about using regular sour cream instead).
• Add 2 nuggets of chopped frozen spinach.
• let simmer on low while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• add a couple shakes of garlic powder.
• I put in A LOT of black pepper but do it to your taste.
• Add dill to taste as well, I used dry because that is what I had, but fresh would be super good.
• Chop up about 2 cups of ham into bite sized pieces.
• open the corn and drain.
• peel one big left over baked potato and chop into bite sized pieces.
• Add all the ham, potato and corn.
• Taste and add extra dill, pepper if desired. I added another tablespoon of sour cream because I thought it would taste good.
• Let simmer until all the ingredients are hot and the spinach is dispersed throughout.
• and eat!
