Cheesy Ham Chowder

This was a quick, easy and tasty soup. I made a couple lil changes by using a couple different types of cheese and by adding a few dashes of hot sauce with the ham. It's a cream base soup, and I love the addition of cayenne or hot sauce to cream soups. It doesn't make 'em hot, it just boosts the flavor. :-)

And, I used chicken stock instead of water/bouillon cus I just don't have or use bouillon. So, I did add a bit more salt, too. And, I suggest a good bit of fresh ground pepper, too... it really works well.

I saved a lil of the cheese to garnish, along with chives, at serving.

Please drop this review in the Soup Again II thread.
Wish I could use chicken stock all the time but it just doesn't seem to last once made before it is consumed. I know bouillon is a poor substitute but it sure is handy.

Okay, sir, will do... sorry, I do forget that.

And, I freeze my stocks in zipper bags.... 2 cups per quart size bag so I know how much is in there every time. I fill 'em, double bag 'em, then lay them flat in the freezer.... so, once frozen through, they're easier to toss around in the freezer than a big clump of frozen liquid. :-)

I found a great meat market with organic meats and a good price, and their bacon is fantastic!!! I'm gonna save this one. I also do try to make my own chicken stock as well...but yeah I just turn to bouillon when I have none. That picture is pretty! ;)
