This Ham Potato Chowder uses milk instead of cream, but it is so creamy and delicious that you won’t miss all that fat. It has become a favorite at our house!

We love this soup with a batch of hot Garlic Knots or Garlic Cheese Breadstick Twists.

My boys had been begging for clam chowder, so last week I decided to be a nice mom and comply.  I got all ready to make it and realized I was missing an ingredient. Don’t you just hate that!

It is at least 15 minutes to the nearest store, and I didn’t have time for that, so I had to improvise. I needed a recipe that was similar to clam chowder. I found this recipe for Ham Potato Chowder and hoped that we would like it.

Oh yah, it was a winner! My boys ate their bowls so fast they didn’t even notice that you could put cheese on top. I had cheese in my bowl and I thought it was just perfect.

Hearty creamy soup with melty cheese on top. Oh my. Pure yummy. I will be making this recipe often this winter I’m sure.
