Crock Pot Ham & Cauliflower Chowder image

Crock pot E-Z; creamy, chunky fully-bodied chowder using cubed leftover ham and Half and Half(substitute, if you choose) to tempt your taste buds. Even better next day or can be frozen in muffins cups zipped tightly into large plastic bag for individual use later. Base recipe from internet with my upgrades. I'm trying it over rice as an encore; whaddya think?

This chowder is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I wasn't a big fan of this chowder. The flavors were a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more spices.
