Creamy Ham and Corn Chowder image

Categories     Chowders

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ham bone, with at least 1 cup of meat remaining on bone
water, to cover
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
1 1/2 cups frozen corn or 1 (15 ounce) can corn
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes or 1/4 cup freshly minced onion
1 -2 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
paprika, to taste

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.
