Ham Potato Chowder Remix

This is a recipe that I made and shared last year, but it is so good I had to share it again. We had a Christmas Party at our house on Thursday and we had some leftover ham. I thought it was a good idea to make some ham chowder. This is an easy recipe that will warm you up and tastes great.

This is the rundown of what you need.

4 large potatoes

2 TB butter

1/4 cup sliced green onion

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

2 cups of water

1 can of whole kernel corn

1/8 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp paprika

3 TB flour

2 cups milk

1 tsp salt

2 cups diced ham

Peel and dice potatoes. In large saucepan melt butter, add onions and green pepper. Cook until tender. Add potatoes, water and seasonings. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender.

Make paste of flour 1/2 cup water. Add to potato mixture.

 

Add milk and cook until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in undrained corn and diced ham. Heat through.

 

My kids love this soup. They both had a second helping. I know you will love it. Let me know how you like it in the comments below.

The Elf on the Shelf: Day 21

Well Kevin is still hanging around, literally hanging around. Kai had to try to stand on his head to get a better look at where our little Elf decided to hide today.

Well I guess we will have to see if Kevin turns our house upside down to meet his mood tomorrow. We never know what we will find him doing. I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas season.

[gallery] Well this post is a little bit late today. Brandon was selected to serve on a Jury and has been tied up all day. Actually he has been tied up all week. So our update is late and a little rushed today. It has been a long week for Brandon and I, and we are so glad it is finally a weekend.

Kevin decided to take a ride on the wild side today. Peyton found him cruising in her Barbie's pink convertible. He also had Peyton's Tangled Doll along for the ride. From the looks of things he also stole some new duds from Peyton's surfer Ken doll. It is a little cold to be sporting surf shorts and driving with the top down but I guess that a the cold weather in Cedar is not so cold for an Elf that comes from the North Pole.
