      Love this recipe personally I would mash it a little bit more. But I'm going to use this recipe has inspiration to use of my ham bone instead of diced ham then fish out my bone and remove meat ;)

      I love this recipe. I added white navy beans and they go amazingly
      well. Add them before you mash. I use an emergin blender instead of mashing and it came out great.

    I know that this video is 12 years old, but I just want to let you know that I made this after Christmas and it was so delicious. I used up part of the leftover honeybaked ham. At first I wasn’t sure how it would work since it was slightly sweet, but it turned out so good that I get hungry just thinking about it. I served it with homemade crusty bread. Thanks! You’ve made me a real good cook and I’m sure my husband appreciates it too. 😊
    Oh, I forgot to mention that I doubled the carrots, potatoes, and ham.

    Hey, Chef John ...
    I made this chowder for supper tonight (Dec 27, 2017), and it is delicious! For extra seasoning and flavor, I added 1/2 tsp of Thyme; I did not have cayenne, so I substituted with red pepper flakes - two pinches or so. My husband ate two big bowls; it's a hit! Thanks for sharing your recipe. :)

    I've made this recipe twice and both times it has tasted fantastic. The first time I had half a container of chicken stock & half a container of beef stock. The two different stocks didn't appear to make much difference in the final outcome of the soup. Like Chef John, I also enjoy adding cayenne to add a bit of heat. Tonight I made the soup, but instead of cooking it on the stove I used an electric pressure cooker. In addition to the diced vegetables in the ingredients I added one dice chili pepper and one diced jalapeno pepper. After adding the stock I cooked the soup on low pressure for two minutes. Once the pressure naturally released, I checked the seasoning, and added the diced potatoes and cooked on low pressure for another two minutes. Once the pressure naturally released again I used an immersion blender to mash the potatoes/vegetables a bit and then stirred in the cream. Yum, yum. Thanks, Chef John.

    I just made it and it turned out great. I first cooked two pieces of bacon in the pot then strained fat from it, added butter and continued recipe as usual. I didnt have celery but it was fine, I doubled the cayenne, I used half and half instead of cream, and added a little dried basil for looks. The result was a kind of spicy, smoky, ham flavored soup. Delicious and so easy!

    I made this today and it was SUPER DUPER YUMMY! I used bacon instead of ham, chili flakes instead of cayenne, and cooked it for a bit longer than instructed (cuz my potato were still hard). You rock Chef John- this is one of the reasons why I will never eat canned soup again :)

  • @Tonithenightowl

    I wouldn't be able to stop myself from adding a bit of cheddar cheese. I would also use ham hocks not a slice of ham. This way you don't need chicken stock. Ham hocks produce a nice broth bc it comes with a bone.:o)

    • @dingfeldersmurfalot4560
      @dingfeldersmurfalot4560 6 років тому +2

      Extremely fatty broth, though, sometimes it can get so grease-clotted that it's inedible. I'm not going to use ham hocks in soup anymore unless I fridge the results so I can skim off the massive amount of fat before using.

      ​@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 I buy ham bones from the spiral ham sammich place up the street, especially when they're having a sale on them. I'll figure one bone per batch of soup. I cover them with water, usually takes about 1.5 qt. per bone, simmer for about an hour, pull the bones out and clean all the meat off. Meat gets diced and divided according to how many bones. Everything else, like fat, gristle goes back in the pot with the bones and simmers for several hours longer. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, then back in the pan and reduce to 2 cups liquid per bone used. It can be put in 1 pint containers and frozen, or you could can it. Super flavorful and I don't find it to be overly fatty at all. When you make your soup, reconstitute the broth with a quart of water.

      @@Payin_Attention Fridging and freezing both help to get the fat to rise and solidify. I find it much easier to skim when cold. I cook chicken with anything and everything in it, usually for quite a long time, then strain it, then fridge it and come back next morning to skim the fat off the top.
