Chunky Potato and Ham Chowder

*Sigh*
Despite a few teases of Spring during the past couple of weeks, we're back in the thick of wet, cold weather this week.

Drawing upon some staples from the pantry and the refrigerator,  this old-time favorite soup seemed just the perfect dinner to chase the end-of-day chills away.

It's easy to put together, kind on the budget too with just a few ingredients* (and BONUS . . .just one pot to wash.)

*Here is all you need:
A couple of strips of bacon olive oil chopped onion Russet (baking/starchy) potatoes a bay leaf Chicken broth or stock Diced ham some milk or cream Salt and pepper

Add your favorite garnishes and you can have a satisfying meal on the table in about 45 minutes ~ 

I always make extra as it keeps well for a couple of days in the refrigerator and seems even more flavorful when reheated the second or third day.
Once you make it, you'll probably not need to refer to the "recipe" again.
If you would like a printable copy of how to make it, you'll find the recipe. . . Here.

Bon Appetit!
