Categories     Soup

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups cooked ham (, diced into small cubes (I used left over ham roast, ham steak works too))
6 slices bacon (, cooked and crumbled)
5 1/2 Tbsp butter (, divided)
1 medium yellow onion (, diced (1 1/2 cups))
2 carrots (, peeled and diced (3/4 cup))
2 celery stalks (, diced (3/4 cup))
2 (14.5 oz) cans low-sodium chicken broth
5 medium red potatoes ((1 3/4 lb), diced into 3/4-inch cubes)
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (, to taste)
2 cups fresh corn ((or frozen))
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream ((I've tried and like both versions))
Chopped green onions or chives, (for serving)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, melt 1 1/2 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add chicken broth, potatoes, oregano, thyme, and bay leaf and season with salt and pepper to taste*.
  • Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and allow to cook, stirring occasionally until potatoes are nearly tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Add in ham and corn and cook until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt remaining 4 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook mixture, stirring constantly, 1 1/2 minutes.
  • While whisking, slowly add in milk, and whisk vigorously to smooth lumps, season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring mixture to a boil and allow to thicken, whisking constantly.
  • Remove from heat, stir in sour cream or cream. Pour and stir milk mixture into soup mixture (once potatoes are tender). Serve warm topped with bacon and chives.

HAM AND CORN CHOWDER WITH POTATO



Ham and Corn Chowder with Potato image

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!

Categories     Soup

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups ham (, roughly chopped (Note 1))
1/2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove (, minced)
1 small onion (, diced (or half large onion) (yellow, brown or white))
2 potatoes (, peeled and diced into 8mm / 1/3" cubes (Note 2))
1 1/2 cups frozen corn ((or drained canned corn))
5 tbsp flour
2 cups milk ((I use low fat but full fat will work too))
1 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 - 2 cups water
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves ((or 1 tsp dried thyme), plus extra for garnish)
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper

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.

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

HAM, POTATO, CORN AND SPINACH CHOWDER



Ham, Potato, Corn and Spinach Chowder image

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.

Categories     Chowders

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups left-over ham
1 left-over baked potato (although if you don't have this you could certainly peel and boil some first)
1 tablespoon butter
onion flakes (weird right? but I didn't have any fresh onions....)
garlic powder
flour
milk
chicken broth
salt
pepper
frozen spinach, nuggets (2)
dill (to taste)
2 cups corn (I used the gold or white corn from Kroger or Fred Meyer)

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For a creamy chowder, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. For a chunkier chowder, use waxy potatoes like Red or New Potatoes.
  • Dice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the chowder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot or they will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth: This will help you control the saltiness of the chowder.
  • Add the corn and spinach at the end: This will prevent them from overcooking and losing their color.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the chowder before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: This will help soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Ham, potato, corn, and spinach chowder is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this chowder a try.
