Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot, combine the potatoes, chicken broth, carrots, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Stir in the salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes and carrots are tender. (8-10 minutes)

03

Step

Add the frozen corn and cubed ham to the pot. Maintain the heat on the lowest setting to keep the soup warm.(1 minute)

04

Step

While the soup simmers, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the cornstarch until smooth. (1 minute)

05

Step

Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly. (3-5 minutes)

06

Step

Add the shredded Cheddar cheese and stir until it is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the cheese mixture into the pot with the soup. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chowder is heated through. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham.
Feel free to add other vegetables like celery or onions for added depth.
If you prefer a smoother chowder, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese sauce.
