CREAMY HAM AND CORN CHOWDER
This is a recipe I came up with a few years ago when I had a leftover ham bone from dinner, and it's wonderfully tasty. Good for using the leftovers after Christmas or Easter dinners. Serve with good, crusty bread and be ready to provide seconds. :)

Steps:
- On a firm non-breakable surface, take a clean hammer and crack the middle of the ham bone so that marrow can escape during cooking.
- Place ham bone flat in the bottom of a pot and add enough water to just cover.
- Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes.
- Remove bone and cut off the remaining tender ham meat; set meat aside.
- Turn up the heat on the ham broth and reduce down until you have about a couple of cups of broth, or to desired strength.
- Skim the fat from the broth.
- Melt butter in a large pan; remove from heat and mix in flour until smooth.
- Slowly add 1 cup milk, stirring constantly.
- Return pan to stove and cook on low heat until milk thickens.
- Stir the corn, the ham pieces you set aside earlier, dried minced onion, and minced garlic into thickened milk; then slowly stir in the remaining milk and the ham broth.
- Cook on low for about 15 minutes, but do not boil.
- Add salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
- *Note: how much meat you leave on the bone is up to you, but I like to have a couple of cups of ham bits mixed into this chowder.
- Optional: you can add a cup of cooked, chopped potato chunks to the soup near the end of the cooking, if you like.

Tips for Making Cheesy Ham and Corn Chowder:
- Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses will give your chowder a rich and complex flavor. You can also use other cheeses that you like, such as mozzarella, fontina, or Gouda.
- Don't be afraid to add some spice. A little bit of cayenne pepper or paprika will give your chowder a nice kick. You can also add other spices that you like, such as cumin, oregano, or thyme.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your chowder a brighter flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen vegetables instead.
- Cook the chowder until it is thick and creamy. The chowder should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If the chowder is too thin, you can add a little bit of flour or cornstarch to thicken it.
- Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Cheesy ham and corn chowder is a hearty and satisfying soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a delicious and comforting soup, give cheesy ham and corn chowder a try.
