Recipe: Last Minute Vegetable Ham Chowder

I’m a cook from scratch kind of gal–but there are just some days that I don’t have a cook from scratch kind of life.  When your schedule spirals out of control it’s good to have a few tasty, toss it together type of meals that you can make with items from your fridge and pantry.

This “Last Minute Vegetable Ham Chowder” starts out with a couple of cans of Progresso Traditional Potato Broccoli and Cheese Chowder.  Of course you can just eat the chowder on it’s own-it’s ready to go straight out of the can.  But to pump up the nutritional value and make it feel more like a full meal we simply add in some ham and vegetables:
