A comforting and hearty chowder featuring ham, potatoes, and a creamy base, perfect for a cozy meal.
Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, pepper, and salt in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the vegetables.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Check the potatoes with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and one cup of milk until smooth.
Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture for a smooth chowder.
Add the thickening mixture, butter, chicken broth, ham, and the remaining milk to the saucepan with the cooked vegetables.
Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom.
Simmer the chowder on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and is heated through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of cheese if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
