HAM AND CORN CHOWDER

Ham and Corn Chowder image

My mother is an excellent cook who rarely follows a recipe exactly. My two sisters and I do the same thing, adding something here, omitting something there. With this soup, I sometimes leave out the bacon and butter, and have used canned corn and creamed corn with good results. We like to eat this soup with big soft hot pretzels instead of crackers. -Sharon Rose Brand, Stayton, Oregon

This soup was so good! I added a little bit of extra salt and pepper to taste, and it was perfect. I also used frozen corn and ham, which made it really easy to make. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I love that I can use frozen corn and ham, which makes it even easier. This is a great soup for a cold winter night.
