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
- 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.
