HAM AND CORN CHOWDER
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
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.

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.

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.

- Use a good quality ham. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
