Ham, chicken and corn chowder
1 cup chopped ham
1 cup chopped, cooked chicken
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
1 small green pepper, cored and chopped
about ½ cup chopped celery
2 cans cream corn
1 pkg. frozen corn, thawed
3-4 cups milk or half and half, or fat free half and half
3 tbsp. oil or butter
a pinch of red pepper and some black pepper to taste
Heat the oil or butter, then add the chopped ham, onion,
green pepper and celery.
Sautee until the ham and vegetables are lightly browned and tender. Add the chicken, creamed corn and
the thawed frozen corn.
Stir well and heat to a simmer. Add enough milk or half and half to get the thickness
you desire. Add a pinch of
red pepper, some black pepper and continue to heat until just below a
simmer. If you
like, you can garnish each bowl with some crumbled bacon or grated cheddar
cheese. Makes enough
to feed 2-4 people.
