Hearty Ham and Corn Chowder

This is one of the easiest, yummiest, comfort food soups you'll ever make!

1 10-oz. bag frozen broccoli with cheese sauce (such as Green Giant brand)

2 cups frozen corn (NOT canned)

2 cups diced ham - a 1 LB ham steak works well (may use turkey ham)

2 cups half & half
2 cups milk

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1/4 cup flour

salt and pepper to taste

Cook broccoli with cheese sauce as directed on package.

In a large pot, combine cooked broccoli, corn, ham, half & half and milk.

Cook until mixture comes to a gentle boil.

Mix together the melted butter and the flour.

Add to soup mixture and continue cooking until thick and bubbly.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

If soup is too thick, thin with milk.

**When doubling, do not double thickening... check first to see if more is needed.

**Cut up the larger pieces of broccoli before adding to soup
