With the official start of fall yesterday, I figure its the perfect time to start sharing some soup recipes with you guys. I love soup because its so warm and comforting and this corn, ham and potato chowder is no different.
Pin this corn, ham and potato chowder for later!
This soup is perfectly hearty, and creamy, flavorful and so delicious. Its stuffed full of all things good, of course including corn, potatoes and ham.
So, now to prepare ourselves for this amazing soup, you’ll need butter, an onion, minced garlic, flour, corn (frozen or whatever – I used canned), potatoes, chicken broth, milk, sour cream, oregano, thyme, and of course your ham. I grabbed everything I needed from Harmon’s Grocery, which is the best because its only half a mile away from my house. And because they sell Boar’s Head meats at their deli. I grabbed a pound of Boar’s Head SmokeMaster™ Black Forest Ham from the deli, and used about half for this soup and half will be for a thick ham sandwich, and if I’m being honest I snacked on some while I was dicing the ham up for this soup.
I love smoked foods, this ham included – whether Nate and I smoke some ribs up at home, or buy smoked cheese from the grocery store (omg yum!) I’ve gotta have it all. If you love smoked foods too, then be sure to enter Boar’s Head Smoke House Rules Sweepstakes for a chance to win a gift card by sharing your rules for creating the perfect smoked recipes here.
Don’t you just want to cuddle up with a blanket and a big bowl of this soup?!

This recipe sounds delicious. Just wondering how thick the ham is.
Aimee Berrett says
Thanks Sandy, if you go to your local deli for ham you can have them slice it as thick or thin as you want. Mine was probably a centimeter? Maybe less…
