53 Degrees outside, warm house inside

Kari Schleicher from Princeton, WI

I had leftover turkey and found this recipe. In 15 minutes my house was warm (tatertots in the oven) and our tummys were happy. This is a keeper.
Quick, Tasty Chowder

Krystle Hampton from Charlotte, NC

This recipe is very good. My diet doesn't include pork so I substituted the ham with sliced, sauteed, turkey sausage. That gave it a great taste. I would suggest this to anyone.
super easy chowder

Lori Samuelson from RAVENNA, NE

My husband found this recipe, I tried it and it quickly became a favorite. I shared the recipe with some co-workers and it was a big hit with their families also.

Ham & Tater Corn Chowder

Julie Foster RN from Bakersfield, CA

Very Very good! Reminded me of a chowder my granny used to make. She also put ham in hers when she made it to use us leftover ham from the holidays. I always looked forward to Easter & Christmas, coz that was the only time we would splurge on ham.....and I knew the chowder would be next! This dish is easy to prepare and is definitely suitable for even a novice cook.

I had no ham but left over roast chicken breast. It was a smash hit. Great with a warm loaf of bread. Very creamy a soothing winter soup the kids will love the floating tater tots.
Ham & Tater Corn Chowder

MARYANN VINCENTI from SADDLE BROOK, NJ

Made this for dinner one rainy evening. The family loved it. I used a 16 ounce package of frozen corn instead of the can. My boys thought the tater tots on top of the soup was fun and made the soup special!

ham tater corn chowder

marcy thrall from MOODUS, CT

this recipe would be much better using real potatoes.
Grandchildren Loved it

Sue Delaney from INDIALANTIC, FL

Nice chowder. The hard to please grandchildren really liked it.
good, but grainy

Marcie Tusher from SHAWNEE, KS

this soup was really easy to prepare and made a LOT, but the mashed potatoe flakes made it have a grainy texture. It was also a tad bland. It really needs the boost of flavor from the scallions.
ham and tater chowder

Jane Bartlett from PUYALLUP, WA

My son loved this chowder.He is in the Air Force.Thank you so much!
Yummy!

J Tulla from SPRINGFIELD, MO

I made this with some changes and it was delicious. I shredded some chicken off a rotisserie chicken at walmart and put that in, instead of the ham and I didn't put the tater tots on it and was delicious. I also added more pepper to give it a little more spice. I felt like something was missing but I'm not sure what. It was still delicious though! My husband and I both ate it up. Next time I will make some Grands biscuits and pour the soup over those, maybe that's what was missing! :)
Yummy!!!

Heather Jones from emmaus, PA

This was a great meal... quick, easy and filling!! My family can not wait until I make this again!!!
Easy and Good

DONNA HENDERSON from WATERTOWN, MA

This recipe brought back memories for my adult son. His two favorite things, canned corn and Tater Tots. What else could you ask for, add ham and you have a great meal. Using the canned milk was a great idea because I don't always have regular milk on hand but I always have the canned variety in the pantry, what a time saver!
