Ham and Potato Corn Chowder

A lighter, creamy and engaging ham and potato chowder that's pure comfort in a very bowl!

Despite the very fact that it's spring we have a tendency to had snow here for Easter therefore the very first thing that I did with my leftover ham was to form a comforting and creamy ham and potato corn soup! I wished this chowder to be jam-packed with vegetables thus I come into being with onions, carrots and celery before adding some garlic, thyme and flour as a material. For the liquids I used a tasty ham broth and milk instead of cream to stay things a bit lighter. 

The ham, potatoes and corn stuffed the soup out and as I usually do, I additional some white miso paste for even a lot of flavour and barely of umami. Not solely is that this ham and potato soup very easy to form however it takes but half-hour thus it’s good for any night of the week and if you create an outsized batch then the leftovers MEasure} even higher for lunch successive day! Here’s to hoping that it starts warming up presently however till then I actually have some ham and potato chowder to induce me through these chilly early spring days!
