Cheddar Ham Chowder Recipe
Life on a farm can get hectic—along with my husband's four brothers, we custom-feed 5,000 head of cattle and grow 5,000 acres of crops. So I often freeze this soup and thaw it for a fast easy meal. Since It's hearty, all I need to add are rolls or bread and a salad. We're expecting an addition to the family spring, who'll join our 19-year-old, 4-year-old and 2-year-old.
