  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add 1 medium onion, diced. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and tender.
  2. Step 2: Next, add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the pot. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to release its fragrant aroma.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 4 cups of peeled and diced potatoes, 2 cups of corn kernels, and 4 cups of chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in 1 cup of diced cooked ham and 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Finally, season your chowder with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the flavors to your liking.
  6. Step 6: Ladle it into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
