Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Ham, diced
- 3 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare all the ingredients: dice the ham and potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a crock pot, combine the diced ham, potatoes, corn, chicken broth, onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Stir the flour paste into the crock pot mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly incorporated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese is completely melted and the chowder is creamy.
Taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
