Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of oil or butter
  • 1 diced onion
  • 2 diced carrots
  • 2 diced stalks of celery
  • 2 cloves of chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of chopped thyme
  • 1/4 cup of flour (or rice flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 2 cups of ham broth or chicken broth
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 1/2 pounds of small-diced potatoes (optional: peeled)
  • 8 ounces of diced ham
  • 1 cup of corn

Directions:

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Flavor Infusion: Mix in the garlic, thyme, and flour. Cook until the flour is lightly browned, giving your chowder a rich flavor, around 2-3 minutes.

  5. Finishing Touches: Stir in the ham and corn. Cook until everything is heated through, allowing the flavors to meld into a delightful combination.
  6. Season to Perfection: Season with salt and pepper to taste. This step ensures that every spoonful is perfectly seasoned to your liking.
