Creamy and Hearty Ham & Potato Chowder Recipe

My kids are not big fans of soup or stew but they LOVE this ham and potato chowder.

This soup is creamy and so flavorful in spite of the simple seasoning.  The chopped potatoes are so tender and make it a hearty soup that is sure to please.  Oh and the dill is an added surprise that adds great flavor to an already yummy concoction.

I usually double this recipe for my family.  As written below, it is about 4 servings.  You can add additional broth if you prefer to get to your desired consistency.

Lastly, for a vegetarian version and an equally delicious potato chowder, I recommend you simply omit the ham, substitute vegetable broth, and add some cauliflower or other veggies.
