Ham and Corn Chowder

Love, love, love this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ham steak, cubed
• 3 yellow potatoes, peeled and diced (you can mash them up a bit if you like)
  
• 2 {16 oz) bags sweet corn
• 6 cups vegetable broth
  
• 1 yellow onion, peeled and diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 1/4 cup flour
  
• 2 cups heavy cream
  
• 2 tbsp butter
• fresh parsley sprigs, for garnish {optional}
  

1. Place all ingredients {minus the last four ingredients} into Crock Pot. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
   
2. Add the flour, heavy cream and butter. Mix well and cook for 1 more hour on High {or until heated through}. Serve and garnish with parsley {optional}.
   

{Tip!} If you want to thicken the texture of the soup, use a hand blender {on low and very carefully - it's hot}. Blend until desired consistency.

Enjoy!
