Cheesy Ham and Corn Chowder image

Chowders always bring to mind a picture of a cozy, kicked-back, winter-time family meal; cuddled up around a roaring fireplace with plenty of warm food, good cheer and loving friends. This one is a Sunday night family favorite - easy on the cook (and the cook's pocketbook), yet sure to bring raves from the hubby and kids. Enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
½ cup sliced carrots
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
3 bay leaves
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground thyme
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup peeled and diced potatoes
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup sliced celery
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup diced cooked ham

Steps:

  • Stir chicken broth, carrots, chicken bouillon, bay leaves, sea salt, pepper, thyme, marjoram, and garlic powder together in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes. Add potatoes and onion; cook for 10 minutes more. Add celery; cook until all vegetables are fork tender, about 10 minutes more.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk flour into butter until smooth. Return saucepan to medium heat; gradually add milk to butter mixture, whisking constantly, and cook until mixture thickens, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir milk mixture into vegetable mixture; add corn, Cheddar cheese, and ham, reduce heat to low, and simmer until ham is heated through and cheese melts, 10 to 15 minutes.
