SLOW COOKED HAM AND POTATO CHOWDER
This recipe is great to use up leftover ham from holiday dinners. It is warm and hearty and is very easy to make in your slow cooker. I love that the potatoes stay a nice, firm texture and yet are perfectly done. This chowder goes great with some cheesy biscuits or crescent rolls right out of the oven!

We all hated potato soup, until I came up with this combination. It is a hearty meal on a cold winters day. Extra ham and bacon, make it even more filling. It is a large batch, but freezes well. I sometimes bake the potatoes the night before, to save time.

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!
HAM, POTATO AND PEPPER CHOWDER
I have been serving this chowder for years now. When I'm feeding family members who don't eat dairy products, I substitute oil for the butter and use coconut milk or soy creamer instead of heavy cream. It still turns out wonderful! -Eileen Stefanski, Wales, Wisconsin
