CHICKEN CHOWDER SOUP FULL OF WHOLENESS

Hello to all the Chicken Chowder Soup fans. 

I ask the question:  I have to get vegetables down the children’s throat, well this is the answer. The ultimate chicken chowder recipe has a lot of vegetables and I love making toast with some blue cheese to go with this.  

Enjoy!!!  Go for gold and start cooking.

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
