This is a soup I make with ingredients we always have. The kids love this with skillet cornbread or biscuits! Would be great in bread bowls, too! Serve hot.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings

  • 1 cup chopped deli-style ham

  • 10 ounces diced cooked chicken

  • 1 cup peeled and diced potatoes

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon dried marjoram

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder, or more to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth

  • ½ cup low-fat (1%) milk

Directions

  1. Heat bacon drippings in 6-quart Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir ham in hot bacon drippings until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and potatoes to the pot; cook and stir until the potatoes soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Season the ham mixture with thyme, marjoram, onion powder, and garlic powder.

  2. Pour cans of whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and chicken broth into the pot. Stir milk into the mixture. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the potatoes are completely tender, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

You can use any type of cooking oil in place of the bacon drippings, but the bacon fat gives an extra layer of flavor.

Frozen hash brown-style potatoes can be used in place of the potatoes for even easier preparation.
