Cold winter day. Need a new recipe? Today we hear from Frozen- The Anthology author, Christina Kirby!

Cheesy Ham Chowder

10 bacon strips, diced

1 large onion, chopped

1 cup diced carrots

3 Tbs flour

3 cups milk

1 1/2 cups water

2 1/2 cups cubed potatoes (roughly 2 cans)

1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained

2 tsp chicken bouillon granules

pepper to taste

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

2 cups cubed fully cooked ham

In a large soup kettle or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels, to drain. In the drippings, sauté onion and carrots until tender. Stir in flour and then gradually add milk and water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the potatoes, corn, bouillon and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add cheese and ham; heat until cheese is melted. Stir in bacon. Makes roughly 10 servings.
