I didn't put in the onion (we prefer milder flavors), but this came out very well.

This will be my go to recipe when I need to make something with my leftover Easter ham! As I was making this I kept thinking that there would be too much bacon,onion rosemary and leeks, so I did make changes and used 1 lb bacon, 1 lg. onion, 2 leeks, about 1 tsp minced fresh rosemary and I put my ham bone into Low sodium broth for about an hour for additional flavor. It probably would have been wonderful if I hadn't made any changes, although the rosemary is obviously an error. I found that with all the wonderful flavors going on, there was never a need to salt this!

I give this recipe a 4 and a half! I did not use 2 lb of bacon like the recipie asks for, and no rosemary, but it still turned out great! A good use for that left over ham!

Pros: +Good texture +Easy to modify based on personal preference +Simple to make +Makes a large batch and saves well Cons: -Way too much rosemary. I have to assume the author meant tsp, not Tbsp. -Ratio of ingredients seemed off -Hard to make in a standard 8 qt pan, almost needed a bigger pot -Expensive I made some adjustments to the recipe for the second go-around. -Decreased ham to 3 C -Increased potato to ~3.5 lb -Decreased rosemary to 2 tsp -Increased garlic to 6 cloves -Decreased bacon to 1.5 lb -Instead of dicing carrots, used 1 lb bag of frozen peas & carrots, and .5 lb of frozen corn -Substituted half & half for heavy cream -Added pepper to taste Making these changes resulted in a chowder more to my family's liking, plus making it less expensive.

Just made this tonight but with some changes.I didn't have the garlic, leeks or rosemary,but it didn't need it.It was extremely tasty! I also used Turkey stock because that's all I had.I also only used one pound of bacon and one large onion. I added corn also and like one of the other reviewers suggested,I thickened it up with instant potato flakes. It made a HUGE pot and came out delicious!

Didn't have any rosemary, so I couldnt use too much. Added a tsp of dried mustard to the broth and a bit of dill weed when I added the cream. My family loved this!! Thanks for sharing.

Delicious, delicious, delicious. Ok, so I'm giving it 5 stars even with a change. However, the only change I made was to the rosemary. I used fresh, about 2 tsp, and it was great. I enjoy the taste and smell of rosemary. Some don't like it too strong. Use some of your sense and use to the strength you prefer. I might even use more next time. This recipe makes enough to freeze some or to serve to a large party. This chowder was so very delicious and rich, not a light soup. I will use this recipe over and over. I thought it had a nice velvety thickness, though it was a little thinner than chowder. If I wanted to thicken I'd try mashed potatoes or a little flour. It's great the next day, the leeks/onions seem like a lot but they work beautifully. I also used my homemade turkey stock as a base. I'm passing this one along.
