Would you be willing to share your recipe? My family loves chowders!!!
Sure, I just use a cream base, which consists of...........
1/2 cup butter
6 tbps flour
2 cups milk
2 cubes chicken bouillon (which you really don't even need)
pepper
Additional milk if needed for less thick consistency after everything else is added
Melt butter & then add flour to make a paste
Add milk & bouillon & cook over low heat until thick
I then added:
--Hunks of chicken which can be taken from a leftover chicken or chicken breast cut up in to bit size pieces. I used uncooked chicken breast, but cooked it in microwave first.
--Bite size potatoes that I had peeled & precooked
--Bite size carrots precooked w/ potatoes in same pot
--A can of corn (juice drained & then added to soup if it gets too thick)
--Onion powder & any other spices you might like
You can actually add anything you want to this soup -I'm not an onion, celery, green or red pepper fan but those can be added, along with brocolli, etc.
I've used this base to make seafood chowder, clam chowder, potato cheese soup - just about any cream soup can be made with this base & it's so easy.
I doubled the recipe for 5 of us & we have some left over for a few bowls during the week.
Very warm and filling.
