Easy Cheesy Ham Chowder image

I don't remember where this recipe came from but we really enjoy a hot bowl of this filling chowder on cold days. It is real easy to put together, filling and yummy! Not to mention a great way to use up leftover ham!

Time 45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 slices bacon
1 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 cups cubed potatoes
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups cubed cooked ham
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven cook bacon over medium heat until crisp.
  • Remove to paper towels to drain.
  • In the drippings saute onion until tender.
  • Stir in flour until blended.
  • Gradually add milk and broth-bring to a boil.
  • Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  • Add the potatoes, corn and pepper.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Add cheese and ham; heat until cheese is melted.
  • Stir in bacon.
  • Normally I don't use the bacon or chicken broth because I make a broth from the ham bone that I am using. And only about a half can of the corn. I also add a cup of diced carrots.
