Ham & Corn Chowder - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: The mom entrepreneur
This soup is creamy as well as hearty and filling; easy to prepare and budget-friendly. The corn adds a tiny bit of sweetness to the taste. For variety, you could probably add some peas and/or carrots; shredded cheddar for topping upon serving. Add some nice warm bread to accompany the meal.

I made this soup and it was wonderful. I thought the taste was a bit bland, so I added some ham base I had, but I think even a few drops of liquid smoke would help the flavor. I also used prepared hot sauce (Franks brand) instead of cayenne pepper. Put extra on while serving. Yum!
Oh… I also added a lot of shredded cheese the last few minutes which added a lot to the richness of the soup!
