Egg Free, Dairy Free Potato Corn Chowder

This Potato Corn Chowder is very good, especially on a chilly night with Drop Biscuits. We added diced ham into the chowder and it was wonderful.

Potato Corn Chowder

5 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
16 oz bag frozen corn
1 lb cooked diced ham, chicken, turkey, ground sausage, ground beef, etc. - optional
4 cups broth, divided use
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 cup soy milk

In a soup pot over high heat, combine the potatoes, corn, meat, 3 1/2 cups broth, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup broth and flour. Add to the potato mixture then cook and stir until it is thickened. Add the soy milk then cook, stirring occasionally, until hot but not boiling.
*  2 cups of soy milk can be used if you want your chowder thinner.
