Description

Couldn’t find an after Christmas ham chowder recipe that started with slow cooking the ham bone leftovers. Ended up taking ideas from multiple recipes to create something that worked out pretty well.

Ingredients

  • 1 meaty ham bone, fat trimmed
  • 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 6 red potatoes, cubed
  • 4 large carrots, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup milk
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place ham bone in a slow cooker; top with chicken stock
  2. onion
  3. and garlic.
  4. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
  5. Remove ham bone from the slow cooker; pull meat off bone and shred. Return shredded meat to the slow cooker and discard ham bone. Add potatoes
  6. carrots
  7. parsley
  8. and cumin; mix well.
  9. Cook on High until potatoes are tender
  10. about 45 minutes. Stir in frozen corn.
  11. Remove 1 cup soup to a blender. Add milk. Cover and hold the lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Return blended soup to the slow cooker and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
