Cheesy Chowder ~ Incredibly Easy Cheesy Chowder Loaded with Carrots, Potatoes, Celery and Ham!
I think the point has been established that I am not afraid to try new recipes, in fact I would say that I thrive on trying new recipes. I usually have a notebook with ideas jotted down in it and literally carry this all over with me because one never knows when inspiration will hit.
With that being said I do not make new recipes every single meal. No way, no how. I have staples that I always turn to for meals. Now desserts that’s a bit of a different issue because I don’t make those every day so if I am going to make one it tends to be new unless it’s going somewhere to serve the public. Then I usually refrain from testing a new recipe out in case of failure. Yes, I have my fair share of failures people! I bet you are just shocked aren’t you?
My favorite thing is the look my husband gives me every single time I make a dinner. Then these words come flying out of his mouth, “Is this new”? I typically say no you’ve had this multiple times before and you liked it. I’m not leaving that last part up for question!
I’ve been working on redoing a lot of pictures from my old posts because let’s just say they are quite pathetic and unappetizing. I personally wouldn’t want to eat if I looked at it and I’m guessing you don’t either. Lately we’ve tackled French’s Crunchy Cheddar Onion Chicken, Ham, Cheese, Poppy Seed Sandwiches and Apple Pull Apart Bread. Every time I pull one of these redo recipes he always asks if it’s new. Every.Single.Time.
I’m trying to figure out if my meals are that forgettable or my husband doesn’t care what I feed him as long as it’s hot and ready when dinner comes around?
Now, if he asks about the Cheddar Chowder the next time I serve it I might have to giggle. The man didn’t get a single bite of this. Not one. He was off building something when I treated myself to this. Yes, myself. I put Miss K down for a nap, enjoyed some quiet time in the kitchen and treated myself to a bowl of soup alone. Sometimes as a mom you need this solace.
Then I hoarded the leftovers for myself during the week it was that amazing!

Looks easy & good. I cook for my son & daughter-in-law and am sure they’ll love it.
Great! I hope you all enjoy it!
Could you freeze this soup to reheat later?
Thanks!
I’ve never tried it. I would worry about the potatoes getting mushy after they are froze and reheated and possibly the cheese sauce separating.
I’m sure you can!
Hehe my husband is the same way – drives me bonkers with his selective memory 😉 I would have a hard time sharing this chowder with him too – it looks incredible! I love how comforting this looks and quick and easy meals are my favorite:)
My hubby is the same way… sometimes he can’t even remember what we ate the night before, lol. Incredibly easy are two of my favorite words when it comes to cooking. I am always on the lookout for quick dinner meals and this one definitely fits the bill. Looks delicious, Julie!
Glad I’m not the only with a hubs like that! Thanks Kathi!
Great recipe! It looks so comforting for this season.
Thanks Danni!
What a gorgeous soup!
Thanks Jocelyn!
Oh this cheesy chowder makes me happy!
Puts a smile on my face too Kristen!
My husband is exactly the same way. I think it’s a selective memory problem.
This chowder looks so delicious. No wonder you hoarded it for yourself. I would have done the same.
Men truly have a selective memory problem I just thought food would be something they would remember!
Oh man, this looks so good! I bet the hubs is disappointed he didn’t get any. I would take a large bowl of this, with the chilly weather starting to settle in soon.
What the hubs doesn’t know won’t hurt him!
I just LOVE a good chowder in the fall! But really, any time of year. Give me a bowl of chowder in the middle of summer and I’ll never turn you down. Looks amazing!
Me too! I’m all about fabulous soups right now!
I love how cheesy this soup looks, Julie! Chowders are my favorite during the fall and winter, so creamy and the perfect comfort food! Pinning to try out! 🙂 And I love your soup bowls, too!
Thanks Gayle!
