Will you please share your Ham Chowder Recipe?

Sounds like a fun project for today.

Thanks for asking for this Dairy - I was thinking it sounded so good.

Yes Peach, please share!

I don't use a recipe...I am a soup master, haha! It's super fast and easy.

Dice an onion. Put it into your pot with a tablespoon of butter and cook until golden.(you could do celery too) Add as many cubed and peeled potatoes as you want, and then just cover them with chicken broth. Boil until potatoes are soft.

Add in cubed ham, corn, and crumbled bacon.

Add in several cups of milk. About the same amount of milk as you did chicken broth. I like to thicken it, so I take about a cup of milk and shake it up with some flour and add that in.

Bring the soup to just a simmer so it can thicken up, but you don't want to boil it with the milk.

Then- take it off the heat, and stir in a cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

That's it.

oops, I also add in dill at the very end, and sometimes you need salt. But wait till it's done to tell, because with cheese and ham and bacon it can get salty on it's own.

Thanks! Easy enough. I'm decent with soup too I just needed a starting point! Sounds good. There's also fun stuff on the MGCC blog. I want to make that cheese wheel thing as soon as I get some yeast.

No. I've never heard of it until you posted about the biscuits yesterday!
Fun stuff. A lof of items that require more time than I have most nights, but it's good weekend project/winter day stuff for sure!

Did you make the soup?? hope it was good!

Barging in..... I am making this soup tonite, and DH is thrilled! We have some left over ham, and all I needed was bacon bits. Might throw in some chives. Can't wait, honestly, sounds so good!

[peach]
