Easy Ham and Corn Chowder - Crockpot

A slow cooker, condensed soups, leftover ham, and frozen corn make this a fuss-free and delicious soup for quick winter meals. Serve this soup with cornbread or crackers for a hearty, warming cold weather dinner.

•2 cans (about 10 1/2 ounces each) condensed potato soup
•1 can (about 10 12 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup
•2 cups leftover diced ham
•1 cup chopped frozen onion or finely chopped fresh onion
( I also add 1 clove of garlic, finely minced)
•10 to 12 ounces frozen whole kernel corn
•1 cup chicken broth
•freshly ground black pepper, to taste
•1 cup half-ahd-half, light cream, or milk


Combine the soups, ham, onion, corn, chicken broth, and pepper in the slow cooker insert. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours. Add milk or cream, cover, and continue cooking for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until hot.
Serve with biscuits or cornbread and a tossed salad.
Serves 4 to 6.
