I always have the ingredients I need to prepare this soup. With biscuits or skillet cornbread, the kids like this! Would work well in bread bowls as well! Serve warm.

| Yield: | 6 servings |
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Reviews
I had some leftover ham and chicken in the frig so this recipe was a perfect fit. I made it with chicken broth that was seasoned with roasted veggies and herbs. Overall the soup was satisfactory but in my opinion needed cheese. I’m adding a small amount of cheese when reheating the leftovers. A nice soup for a cold fall day!
