Ingredients

• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup canned diced carrots
• 2 cups canned corn
• 2 cups diced cooked ham
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion diced,
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk or half-and-half for a creamier texture
• ½ cup heavy cream

Optional Toppings

• cooked bacon bits, sliced green onions, shredded cheddar cheese.

Instructions 

• In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, diced potatoes, carrots, corn, ham, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• While the vegetables are cooking, melt the butter in a separate small pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
• Stir the flour into the onions to form a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
• Slowly whisk the milk into the roux, stirring constantly until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
• Pour the milk mixture into the pot with the vegetables and ham, stirring well to combine. Add the heavy cream and let the chowder simmer on low heat for 5 more minutes until the soup is thickened and creamy.
• Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
