Nonnie's Ham Chowder image

My grandmother (Nonnie) used to make this chowder using leftover veggies from the week and a piece of ham on the bone. It's incredibly creamy and the thyme and pepper make it such a savory dish. I use a piece of boneless ham steak, but I find that if I don't use ham on the bone, I need to add some salt to get the flavor right. Enjoy!

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia®)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
3 cups milk
1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot; cover with salted water. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, remove from pan, and reserve.

  • Stir in the frozen vegetables, cooked potatoes, and ham. Simmer chowder until hot, about 10 minutes.
