We've had rain for weeks it feels like and yesterday I was just in the mood for a good old-fashioned comfort meal of soup. I used my favorite Ham & Cheddar Chowder recipe which is easy and a big hit with both Tech Guy and the little guys. The cookbook literally falls open to that page!
Ham & Cheddar Chowder
2 cups water
2 cups potatoes, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 cup cubed party ham
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups cheddar cheese
Combine water, vegetables and seasonings in a large kettle. Bring to boil and boil for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile in sauce pan (or microwave) make white sauce. Melt butter and add flour. Stir until smooth, about 1 minute. Slowly add milk; cook until thickened. Add cheese to white sauce; stir until melted. Add white sauce and cubed ham to vegetables that have NOT been drained. Heat through, but do not boil.
Yield: 5 servings
