Ham and Corn Chowder

"This soup is creamy as well as hearty and filling; easy to prepare and budget-friendly. The corn adds a tiny bit of sweetness to the taste. For variety, you could probably add some peas and/or carrots; shredded cheddar for topping upon serving. Add some nice warm bread to accompany the meal. This recipe is courtesy of Taste of Home Magazine, a 2nd place winner in a soup contest."

  1. This is a delicious soup! I used whole milk and made as directed. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. This soup is a great way to use leftover ham. I added carrots, garlic, and ham bullion to the soup and a little more cayenne then called for in the instructions. Yummy. Great recipe for a cold night.
     
  3. Wonderful recipe Dancing Cook, it was awesome. We really enjoyed this tasty chowder. The base was silky, smooth and delicious. Made exactly as written, and I would not change a thing. What a great way to use up leftover ham. A great meal for this cold and stormy night. Served with homemade sour cream biscuits for a terrific meal. Made for Menu tag game.
     
  4. So easy & delicious. And while rich & creamy, not unhealthy (no cream, cream cheese, cheese, etc). You wouldn't know it was good for you!
     
  5. This was tasty. I used 2 cups milk/1 cup 1/2 & 1/2. I nuked 2 potatoes and sliced them. I think this soup could use some extra flavor/zing but overall pretty dang good.

  1. This was good....made some changes because I had fresh corn, and no potatoes. Cooked the corn, off the cob, in the micro with water for 10 minutes. Used some of the water in place of the milk. Added lots of pepper. Used deli ham instead of cubed ham. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. This is an easy, "use-up-your-leftovers" great tasting recipe!! I didnt have any potatoes, so I left thos eout, but I did add some chopped carrots. Instead of cayenne pepper I used some chili powder which gave this a little kick. I'm glad that I got to use up our ham other than just grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.....thx again!!!

I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes.
