Loved this! Easy, fast and delicious. I used 3 cups of broth. I didn't peel the potatoes and I didn't have celery or red pepper. For the ham, I subbed real bacon bits. I had frozen corn but I love Trader Joe's canned corn, so I used that. I topped each bowl with grated cheddar and fresh chives from our herb garden--they made a wonderful melted topping (I didn't stir it in and I could taste flavors better that way). I'll definitely keep a can of creamed corn on hand at all times so I can make this wonderful recipe whenever I'm in a pinch...or just in the mood for corn chowder--it's healthy, tasty and versatile.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen!
I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
