I made this ham chowder recipe with leftovers I had one day. It’s a ham- and potato-based soup with leeks, onions, rosemary, cream, bacon, and carrots. The ham and bacon give this soup a smoky taste while the cream gives it a rich texture. Chowder is better served the next day.
Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken or ham stock
- 4 cups cubed Country ham
- 4 tablespoons dried rosemary
- 2 pounds bacon, diced
- 2 large onions, diced
- 3 leeks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 green onions, diced
- 6 large potatoes, cubed
- 1 pound carrots, cubed
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Pour stock into a large pot set over medium heat, and bring to a simmer. Stir in cubed ham and 2 tablespoons rosemary.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove bacon, and add to pot. Drain half of bacon grease, and return the skillet to medium heat. Stir in onions, leeks, garlic, and green onions; cook until tender, then add to pot.
Step 3
Place cubed potatoes, carrots, and 2 tablespoons rosemary in pot; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat, and add cream to the pot.
