My (Easy) Corn and Ham Chowder

Made this easy chowder last night. Combined a few recipes I found and added my own ideas! Hope you enjoy!


1 1/2 C cubed ham
1/2 package of Oreida frozen hasbrowns
2 cans chicken broth
1 can Cream of Celery Soup (or CO chicken, mushroom-whatever you got)
4 T butter
1 C finely chopped celery
1 C chopped onion
2 C milk +/- to desired consistency
1 can cream corn
1 can regular corn
salt
pepper
minced chives (optional)


Sautee onions and celery in butter until soft and translucent. Add chicken broth and bring to simmer. Add cream soup, milk, corns (don't drain), ham and hash browns. Bring back to simmer, stirring occasionally to break up hash browns and keep them from sticking to bottom of pan. Let simmer gently for an hour or so, stirring once in a while until thickened. Salt and Pepper to taste. Garnish with chives if ya want. Serve!
