This is great. I added a handful of chopped green peppers and some fresh mushrooms with the onions. Also, after I started making this I discovered that there wasn't any milk, so I used frozen creamed corn instead of regular corn for creaminess and then added some of the water from cooking the potatos. This is a wonderful dish and I have now made it twice this week to use up leftover ham.

This was very excellent, my family loved it. I have already gave this recipe to a friend. It is fast and easy to make, short cooking time and makes a great meal if you are in a hurry, I added celery very thinly chopped and a cooked 2 carrot diced with the potato, to add color and taste to the dish. I used red potato keeptthe skin. -
This is a wonderful so easy recipe to make, it was absolutly delicious. My husband raved about it, and how good it would taste with shrimp or chicken also. If you love chowder, you won't be disappointed ! -
This was good and very easy! Makes a great weeknight meal using leftover ham. I added green onions and shredded cheese to each bowl before serving. Thanks for the recipe!

We love this soup!! Thank you for posting. I, too, didn't use milk and just used the water that the potatoes cooked in, for the desired nutrients. It was still very creamy. I added all the other ingredients to the potato pot, throwing in some extra veggies as well (diced green bell pepper and frozen peas). Like some of the other reviewers, I also used creamed corn instead of regular, fat-free instead of regular mushroom soup, EVOO instead of butter, and some low fat shredded cheese to top it. I added a little cayenne pepper for kick too. This soup was a big hit! I'm sure I'll be making this over and over again. :)

This was a wonderfully quick & tasty chowder. My husband really enjoys chowders, but he likes them chalked full, so I doubled the ham & the potatoes, while leaving the other ingredients the same. We really enjoyed this. I did make some minor changes, similar to the ones others have made. I decided to try cream of asparagus soup instead. I also only had cream corn, so I used that. I then only used 2 cups of milk. This is truely a versitile recipe.

Excellent! Instead of the cooked potatoes, I used 3/4 cup of instant potato flakes. I like my chowders thicker, and this made it nicely thick. I also used 2 cups of ham because I am a 250lb meat eater. The amount of pepper I used was 1/2 teaspoon. My wife thought it was a little too hot, but I thought it was just right. Thanks for the keeper. -
