HAM & POTATO-RUTABAGA CHOWDER



Ham & Potato-Rutabaga Chowder image

The ingredients in this dish are a nod to my mother's tasty potato and rutabaga side dish, which was always paired with baked country ham; dishes she served during the cold months when I was a child. Whenever I make this chowder it brings me back to a time when life was just a little bit simpler. -Cheryl Perry, Hertford, North Carolina
