Potato Chicken Chowder



This is one of those blog entries where I don't have step-by-step pictures. For a chowder, you basically need milk and any starch to make it hearty. I've been craving potato soup, so I just threw ingredients I had on hand into a slow cooker. I used what was left of my potatoes, which totaled 9. Some people prefer cooked ham in potato chowder, but I'm not a fan of the combination, so I added canned cooked chicken to add flavor and protein. This batch is enough to feed my family for a few days! It's extremely tasty too! I served it with flaky biscuits.


Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 large onion
  • 9 red potatoes, pealed & cubed
  • 3 (10 oz.) cans cooked chicken, drained
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (16 oz.) package frozen whole kernel sweet corn
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • ground black pepper
  • handful chopped green onions (garnish)

Directions

  1. Saute onion in butter over medium heat, until translucent. Add red pepper flakes & ground black pepper (to taste).
  2. Peal and cube 9 potatoes (more potatoes = heartier chowder).
  3. In a slow cooker, set to low, add potatoes, cooked chicken, milk, chicken broth & corn.
  4. Once onion is translucent, add to slow cooker.
  5. Cook chowder in slow cooker for about 8 hours on low.
  6. Serve chowder garnished with green onions.
  7. Enjoy!
