I came up with this recipe myself when I had a ham hock and wanted to make something other than the usual split pea soup. The resulting chowder was satisfying and good-tasting. Mashed potatoes help give it a rich, creamy texture.

I was a bit skeptical about using cauliflower in a chowder, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. The cauliflower added a nice texture and flavor to the soup.
