HAM CHOWDER



Ham Chowder image

I made the recipe up with leftovers I had one day. It's a ham and potato based soup with leeks, onions, rosemary, cream, bacon, and carrots. The ham and bacon give this soup a smoky taste while the cream gives it a rich texture. Chowder is better served the next day.

Best Boiled Ham and Cabbage image

There's nothing like a steaming pot of boiled ham and cabbage on a cold evening. The hearty, homey flavor makes for such a perfect comfort food that your family will never notice that all those veggies are good for them. The nutritional information is going to be off because the veggie amounts are sized for 6-8 servings, but the ham will leave you with plenty of leftovers to use in the many wonderful dishes that call for ham. Use any, all, or none of the optional veggies according to availability and personal taste.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 -12 lbs half ham or 8 -12 lbs smoked pork shoulder
6 -8 small onions, peeled
6 -8 small red potatoes, scrubbed
6 -8 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
2 -3 parsnips, peeled and cut in chunks (optional)
1 -2 celeriac, bulbs peeled and cut in chunks (optional)
1 -2 turnips (optional) or 1 -2 rutabaga, peeled and cut in chunks (optional)
1 medium cabbage, cut in 6-8 wedges
12 -15 whole cloves
fresh ground black pepper
butter (optional)
cold water

Steps:

  • Remove the ham from its wrappings. Cut off the skin and make sure you remove the plastic thing that covers the end of the bone.
  • Stud the ham with the whole cloves, distributing them evenly over the surface.
  • Put ham and onions into a very large pot and cover with COLD water. Its important to use cold water because it draws the excess salt out of the meat and makes a more flavorful broth.
  • Bring to a boil slowly over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
  • Add all the veggies except the cabbage. Raise heat and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and simmer another 15 minutes or until the largest potatoes are nearly cooked.
  • Add the cabbage wedges. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Simmer another 10-20 minutes until cabbage is cooked but not mushy.
  • Use a large, slotted, serving spoon to remove all the veggies to a large serving dish.
  • Lift ham onto a platter and carve off a suitable number of servings for the meal.
  • Serve each person a slice of ham and a portion of each vegetable. Grind black pepper over the plate and offer butter for the potatoes and other roots if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Use a smoked ham hock or bone-in ham steak for a more flavorful broth. You can also use leftover ham.
  • Don't crowd the pot: If you're using a large pot, don't overcrowd it with ingredients. This will prevent the chowder from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the vegetables until they're tender: The vegetables should be cooked until they're tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. This will give the chowder a more flavorful texture.
  • Season the chowder to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a little bit of acidity.
  • Serve the chowder hot: Ham and cabbage chowder is best served hot. You can garnish it with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Ham and cabbage chowder is a hearty and flavorful soup that's perfect for a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give ham and cabbage chowder a try.
