Creamy Chicken, Corn and Ham Chowder image

This hearty chowder will definitely warm you up on a cold day. It's creamy with a lovely smokey flavor from the ham. There's a pop of sweetness thanks to the corn. The potatoes are tender and the chicken remains very moist in the broth. Seasoned perfectly, this is a fantastic cool weather meal. Note: We misread the ingredients...
