With a few additions, this very simple to throw together Ham & Corn Chowder is exceptional! To the ingredients listed I added 1 can of corn niblets, about 5 slices of Swiss Cheese, some fresh chopped chives and some salt. I did not have the crumbled cooked bacon, but the addition would have been another winner. I am so glad you shared this recipe with us, DuChick! Thank you : ) This recipe is so simple, I am sure to use it whenever I have leftover ham.Reply
