HAM AND CORN CHOWDER WITH POTATO
A hearty, creamy soup made using leftover Christmas ham (or store bought leg ham). Refer to Note 5 for a shortcut way of making this soup which will let you get this soup on the table in just 15 minutes. Make this a more complete meal by adding extra vegetables! I often add frozen diced vegetables - just add it when you add the corn into the soup. This serves 3 normal people or 2 very hungry people. It is a very filling soup!

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Do not let the onion brown.
- Add the flour and whisk until mixed through the butter. Pour 1 cup of milk in and whisk until it starts to thicken (around 1 1/2 minutes), then pour the remaining cup of milk in. Whisk until it thickens - around 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Then add the chicken stock, and 1 1/2 cups of water and whisk until combined.
- Increase heat to medium high and add the potatoes into the soup. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes (Note 3), whisking fairly regularly to ensure the soup doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan. The soup will thicken as it cooks. Use the remaining 1/2 cup of water if the soup gets too thick before the potato has finished cooking.
- Just before the potato has finished cooking, add the corn in (just to heat it through).
- While the potato is cooking, heat olive oil in a small fry pan over high heat. Add the ham and sauté for 1 - 2 minutes until nicely browned. Remove fry pan from the heat and set aside. (Note 4)
- When the potato is cooked (tender but still holding its shape), remove the soup from the stove and stir through most of the thyme and ham (reserve a bit for garnish).
- If the soup is too thick for your liking, use water (or milk) to get the soup to your desired consistency. Add the salt and 5 grinds of black pepper, then do a taste test and adjust the saltiness if required.
- Serve, garnished with remaining thyme leaves and ham.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, tender ham, and flavorful broth are essential for making a delicious corn soup.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a variety of textures. A combination of soft potatoes, crunchy celery, and tender ham will give your soup a more interesting texture.
- Season the soup well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for corn soup. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will add a creamy richness to the soup and help to balance out the flavors.
Conclusion:
Corn soup with potatoes and smoked ham is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
