A warm and creamy chowder filled with ham and vegetables, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups cooked ham, cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Cook and stir frequently until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Roux: Stir in the flour, cooking and stirring for two more minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  3. Combine the Broth: Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the Potatoes and Ham: Add the diced potatoes, cubed ham, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Finish with Cheese and Milk: Once the potatoes are done, remove the bay leaf. Stir in the milk and gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and the chowder is smooth.
  6. Season to Taste: Season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your cozy, homemade cheesy ham chowder!

Notes

Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. Perfect for using up leftover ham.
