HAM AND CORN CHOWDER



Ham and Corn Chowder image

My mother is an excellent cook who rarely follows a recipe exactly. My two sisters and I do the same thing, adding something here, omitting something there. With this soup, I sometimes leave out the bacon and butter, and have used canned corn and creamed corn with good results. We like to eat this soup with big soft hot pretzels instead of crackers. -Sharon Rose Brand, Stayton, Oregon

CREAMY HAM AND CORN CHOWDER



Creamy Ham and Corn Chowder image

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. :)

Provided by Julesong

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.

CREAMY CHICKEN CHOWDER



Creamy Chicken Chowder image

Inspired by local bounty, this chowder is rich with chicken and earthy carrots, rutabagas, and turnips, all bathed in a creamy stock and sprinkled with dill.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
8 to 10 cups water
1 large onion, 1/2 left whole, 1/2 chopped
2 carrots, 1 halved lengthwise, 1 cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 stems fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
10 whole black peppercorns
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour, preferably Wondra
1 small turnip, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 ounces rutabaga or parsnip, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Coarse salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped, for garnish
Vermont Common crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Place chicken, breast side down, in a large pot. Add enough water to just cover chicken. Add whole 1/2 onion, carrot halves, parsley, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, partially covered. Reduce heat, and simmer gently for 1 hour. Remove chicken, and let cool. Strain broth through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth into another pot, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes to reduce and intensify flavor. Shred chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding bones and skin.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and diced carrot, and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in reserved chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Add turnip, rutabaga or parsnip, and 2 1/2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat, and simmer until root vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir in reserved chicken and the cream, and heat until warmed through, about 1 minute. Season with salt, and garnish with dill. Serve immediately with crackers on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your chowder more flavor and texture. Some good vegetables to use include potatoes, carrots, celery, and corn.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality ham. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
  • Serve your chowder hot. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold day.

Conclusion:

Ham and corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold day. With its creamy broth, tender vegetables, and flavorful ham, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
