Delicious Mouth Watering Chicken Chowder/Soup.

Alright, so the word “chowder” has been known as a soup, but why are some soups called chowders while others aren’t? Chowders are soups that are often thickened by way of a roux.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 kg Chicken pieces on the bone
  • 250g of Bacon
  • 1 Can of Hole Kernel Corn   (246g)
  • 5 Carrots
  • 2 medium-size Onions
  • 1 Red Pepper
  • 1 Chili
  • 3 Bay Leaves
  • Soft Butter
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp Flour         

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I first boil the chicken in water with salt and bay leaves. Cook for at least 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked.         
  • In a separate pot or pan fry bacon until crispy.
  • Remove crispy bacon from pan/pot but leave the grease (this adds so much flavor to the chowder!)                                                                         
  • Saute in butter the onions, red pepper, and chili in the pan/pot that the bacon was cooked in for about 5 minutes.                                   
  • Add the cooked chicken and diced Carrots to onion mixture and cover with 2 liters of water then cook for about 15 minutes.                        
  • Mix Flour with a bit of water and create a paste then add to Chowder. 
  • Cook for 5 minutes and wait until it thickened.               
  • Next, add crispy bacon back into the pot. (I save some of the bacon to sprinkle on top).                                                                                                   
  • Sprinkle crispy bacon on top.                                                     
  • Serve and Enjoy

I am a sucker when it comes to Blue Cheese/Stilton or any type of cheese. Melt it on a piece of french bread and enjoy with this chowder – Enzelle
