When I was growing up, my grandfather would often serve steaming bowls of corn chowder. I tried to capture that wonderful flavor and came up with this recipe.
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
2 cups chopped fully cooked ham
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1-1/4 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
Directions
In a soup kettle or Dutch oven, combine the first five ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add corn, soup, ham, mushrooms, milk, salt and pepper; heat through, stirring occasionally. Stir in bacon just before serving.
