Cook, covered, on high 20-30 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Add cheese, sour cream and parsley. Stir until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leeks over a low heat for 3 mins until softened. Stir in the potatoes and flour, then slowly blend in the milk, stirring with a wooden spoon. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 mins until the potatoes are soft.
• Add the chicken, ham, sweetcorn and peas, then stir over a medium heat for 5 mins or until hot and bubbling. Season to taste and serve with crusty bread.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, saute the ham, onion and celery in butter for 5 minutes or until ham is lightly browned and vegetables are tender. Add the broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender., In a small bowl, combine flour and milk until smooth; stir into chowder. Add dill and pepper.

Steps:

• Cook the cubed potatoes in boiling water until firm-tender (do not overcook, this should take only about 8-10 minutes or even less) drain; set aside.
• In a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed sauepan, saute onion or leeks and garlic (if using) until the onion is soft (about 3-4 minutes).
• Add in thyme, salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute to release the thyme flavor.
• Add in half and half and whipping cream; cook and stir over medium heat until warm (not hot) careful not to scorch.
• Add in grated Parmesan cheese and cooked cubed ham; cook, stirring for about 7-8 minutes on medium heat, or until the cream is heated to almost hot.
• Stir potato buds or flakes; cook over medium-low heat, stirring until mixture is thickened, this might take about 8-10 minutes or more, the potato flakes will thicken up after about 8-10 minutes (if necessary add in more whipping cream or half and half to thin to desired consistancy).
• This is really not neccesary, but I like to mash about 1/4 cup cooked potatoes and add them into the soup, and just stir them inches.
• Add in cooked diced potatoes or you can even add them in at the table.
• Spoon into bowls, and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese if desired or grated cheddar cheese).
• Delicious!
