Sometimes straightforward soups are the best.  This is a simple corn chowder with cubed ham added.  It’s a great recipe for that leftover ham from your holiday dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 15-ounce can chicken broth
  • 2 cups cubed potatoes
  • 2 cups half and half or 2 cups milk
  • 2 15-ounce cans corn, undrained
  • 1 1/2 cups diced ham
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or one tablespoon dried

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add onion and cook until tender, stirring frequently.  Add the flour and stir to make a paste.  Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring frequently with a whisk to avoid lumps.
  2. Add the potatoes.  Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are barely tender.
  3. Stir in half and half and both cans of undrained corn. Cook uncovered for six to eight minutes.  Stir in ham and parsley.  Reheat if necessary.
