Mmmmmmm... nothing warms me up better than a bowl full of soup, stew or chowder. Today's recipe isn't just any old regular corn chowder, however. It's from an awesome book I just finished entitled A Life That Says Welcome by Karen Ehman- a book about hospitality and welcoming others into your home and your life.
Mrs. Ehman kindly shared some of her favorite recipes in her book. Corn Chowder is just one of them and it is DELICIOUS!! All four of us LOVED it!!! Let me get to the recipe...
Corn Chowder
In a large pot combine:
4 cups chicken stock (or 4 cups water with bouillon cubes to taste)
6 cups diced, peeled Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup diced celery
Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Then add:
3 T butter
1-2 cups finely chopped leftover ham
1 1/2 cups leftover corn
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
Just before serving, add:
8 ounces sour cream
Thin with a little milk, if needed. Stir well. Serves 8-10.
YUMMMMMM!!!! Warm and delicious AND my family loved it. What can get better???

We love soup on rainy days in Southern CA...unfortunately we are in a snap of warmth. I have been praying for a gentle rain shower each week for the entire rainy season to break our drought, so I will be hanging on to the soup recipe for the next storms coming through! :-)
This book has been on my reading list forever! I would love to get my hands on a copy! Being hospitable here is hard because everyone is so busy, working long hours and move so much that hospitality is an oddity, it is like people are in default to decline! So I am really working on this area and once Miss Pear is recovered from her surgery in January we plan on making this a priority.
And LOVE the dishes!
I would LOVE to win this book! Your dishes are beautiful and the chowder makes me hungry.
I'm going to make the chowder this weekend. I would love to read her book.
