This delicious and simple Potato Chowder is a recipe I picked up from my friend Lorene while we were still in college. Both of us were young, married, poor college students without a lot of time or money on our hands. This recipe met our requirements of being easy and affordable. We make it slightly differently, you can view her posting of this recipe here.

Potato Chowder
- 4 cups potatoes, cut into cubes
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cubed ham. You can find this usually close to the lunch meat or by the big hams. It is a package of ham cut into little cubes. You can also use leftover ham that you have cut up or use sliced up deli ham. I prefer the little chunks.
- 1 TBSP paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
