About


I *LOVE* corn, so I want to make a chunky and hearty corn chowder for a meal. I use smoked ham to get that smokey taste because I'm not a big bacon fan. I add crab meat since it doesn't have an overpowering seafood taste to make the traditional ham & corn chowder more interesting. You can also use lactose-free milk instead of regular milk. This is a quick & easy recipe because I'm a professional woman and don't have a lot of time to cook. I use pre-made ingredients that you can get from regular stores to make tasty meals.
