Nonnie's Ham Chowder image

My grandmother (Nonnie) used to make this chowder using leftover veggies from the week and a piece of ham on the bone. It's incredibly creamy and the thyme and pepper make it such a savory dish. I use a piece of boneless ham steak, but I find that if I don't use ham on the bone, I need to add some salt to get the flavor right. Enjoy!

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a great meal to make ahead of time. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this chowder without the ham. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables to make up for the lack of meat, and it turned out great.
