Turkey Ham Potato Chowder a rich, creamy soup made with buttermilk and hickory salt. Perfect for Easter. A soup fit for any occasion.
This recipe is part of a great lineup of #EasterWeek recipes. Don’t miss the lineup of links at the end of this post!
Ham was on our Easter menu for as long as I can remember. My mom always made a ham with mashed potatoes and green beans. Not the casserole, just beans. A salty dark brown gravy from a box was also on the table.
That ham wore the battle scars of too many diamond cuts and clove pricks.
She would lay extra pineapple slices in the bottom of the dish. Brown sugar and ham juices dripped over the slices making a salty-sweet coating. So good.
The past few years I’ve been using turkey ham in some of my traditional recipes with ham. My guy eats very little pork so he doesn’t mind the switch.
For this #EasterWeek recipe you could use ham if you like. I would cut back on the additional salt.
Buttermilk rounds out the flavors and keeps the soup creamy.
This is one of my new favorite soups. I hope you enjoy it.
That silly Easter Bunny just wants a taste! It is #EasterWeek after all!
