Submitted by Caroline Cooks

"Crock pot E-Z; creamy, chunky fully-bodied chowder using cubed leftover ham and Half and Half(substitute, if you choose) to tempt your taste buds. Even better next day or can be frozen in muffins cups zipped tightly into large plastic bag for individual use later. Base recipe from internet with my upgrades. I'm trying it over rice as an encore; whaddya think?"

  1. This was incredible! The hot sauce (I used tapatio) really makes the flavor. Only issue is the 3 TBS potato flakes weren't in the ingredients list.

  2. I haven't tried this so can't rate it.. Sure it's great! It made me remember decades ago- a cream of cauliflower soup served in an upscale local establishment.. I could never put my finger on what made it different . Finally found someone to tell me it had a bit of blue cheese in it...I think I will use this recipe and give the combination a try- Nora

  3. Very nice chowder! I cooked it on the stove instead of the crock pot. I used both the cheese and the tabasco and thought it still needed more flavor so I also added some cayenne. And that did the trick. I use an 8oz. package of sliced mushrooms that I chopped a little and I could have used more. I didn't run this through a blender as we like to have some texture. I might try not cooking this quite as long next time..there is a fine line of being done and being over done with cauliflower. There is not a lot to this soup so next time I will serve it with panini. All in all a great soup!

  4. Awesome recipe! The only thing I did differently was I added a tsp of liquid smoke for some extra flavor. I didn't have any leftover ham so used a ham steak, I think thats where I might have lost some of the flavor. Great fall/winter recipe!

  5. Too many dishes for a crockpot recipe...

<p><br />I love to cook, read and try new recipes. Marketing professional by education and business experience, but wrote cooking feature articles and a recipe column in the past--when my 2 sons were young. Also, owned a book shop for 5 years; carried lots of cookbooks; and, of course-- had to have one of each. LOL! Invited cookbook authors to signing events and would make some of their recipes for customers to sample. <br /><br />My philosphy is-- <br /><br />LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL-PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING, WOW!
