Ingredients

  • 2 cups of peeled and diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 ¾ cups of flavorful chicken broth
  • ½ cup of thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • ¾ teaspoon of garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups of wholesome frozen corn
  • 1 ½ cups of tenderly cubed, fully cooked ham
  • ¼ cup of creamy butter
  • ¼ cup of cornstarch for thickening
  • 2 cups of rich and creamy milk
  • 2 cups of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Step 1

In a large pot, combine the humble potatoes, flavorful broth, vibrant carrots, and aromatic garlic. Allow this delightful medley to come to a gentle boil for approximately 5 minutes. Enhance the mixture with a sprinkle of salt, a dash of garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the potatoes and carrots reach a tender state, usually taking 8 to 10 minutes. Introduce the sweet corn and savory ham into the pot, lowering the heat to the minimum setting for further infusion of flavors.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt the luscious butter and whisk in the cornstarch to create a smooth paste. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to achieve a velvety consistency. Let this creamy concoction cook and thicken until it reaches a delightful bubbling state, usually 3 to 5 minutes. Integrate the sharp Cheddar cheese into the mixture, stirring patiently until it melts gracefully, which should take around 2 minutes. Finally, pour this luxurious blend into the pot with the simmering soup. Over medium heat, gently warm the soup while stirring occasionally, ensuring it is heated through, which typically takes about 2 more minutes, or until it reaches the perfect serving temperature.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your pantry well-stocked with essential ingredients such as canned corn, chicken broth, and potatoes for easy access when making this delectable chowder.
  2. 2. Utilize airtight containers or mason jars to store the leftover chowder in the fridge. This will help preserve its freshness and prevent any odors from seeping into other foods.
