Ham Chowder
I made this ham chowder recipe with leftovers I had one day. It's a ham- and potato-based soup with leeks, onions, rosemary, cream, bacon, and carrots. The ham and bacon give this soup a smoky taste while the cream gives it a rich texture. Chowder is better served the next day.
Kentucky Biscuits
This is a great recipe, different than the usual biscuit. Serve piping hot with butter, jam, or honey.
