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

HAM, POTATO, CORN AND SPINACH CHOWDER
So, I am home by myself and starving. I got to thinking about soup I had as a child with farmer's sausage and potato. While I am living in Canada again for the first time in years and actually have farmer's sausage in my freezer, I also had left over ham. So, here is my take on a hearty, yummy soup that most people can probably make with leftovers from a big ham dinner. Give it a whirl, I think you will be pleased. Note that I added a kind of weird ingredient of greek sour cream because I thought it would add a nice sourness to the soup (kind of like buttermilk) and I happened to have some in the house. I think regular sour cream (but probably not lowfat) would work too.

Steps:
- melt about 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan (real butter is sooo much better than margarine, trust me on this).
- add in about a teaspoon of onion flakes to rehydrate and soften.
- when the butter gets a bit brown add 2 tablespoons of flour.
- whisk together until you have "cooked" the flour (about 30 seconds).
- add 2 cups of milk and whisk until smooth.
- add a cup of chicken broth. I actually used chicken bouillon because that is what I had.
- add one heaping tablespoon of greek sour cream (see notes about using regular sour cream instead).
- Add 2 nuggets of chopped frozen spinach.
- let simmer on low while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- add a couple shakes of garlic powder.
- I put in A LOT of black pepper but do it to your taste.
- Add dill to taste as well, I used dry because that is what I had, but fresh would be super good.
- Chop up about 2 cups of ham into bite sized pieces.
- open the corn and drain.
- peel one big left over baked potato and chop into bite sized pieces.
- Add all the ham, potato and corn.
- Taste and add extra dill, pepper if desired. I added another tablespoon of sour cream because I thought it would taste good.
- Let simmer until all the ingredients are hot and the spinach is dispersed throughout.
- and eat!
