It's a Keeper!

The Farmhouse Chicken Chowder recipe my mother passed on to me was wonderful.  The rotisserie chicken really makes a huge difference.  It is flavorful and moist (I hate that word :)).  My whole family loved it, which is not an easy task.  My 7 year old son yelled out "Mama, this is FANTASTIC!".  Try this one soon!

Farmhouse Chicken Chowder

My mom passed this recipe on to me a couple of weeks ago.  I am going to try it this week.

 FARMHOUSE CHICKEN CHOWDER
 6 slices bacon, chopped
 6 green onions sliced thin
 2 carrots, peeled and sliced thin
 1 rib celery, sliced thin
 6 tablespoons flour
 5 cups chicken broth
 1 pound red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2 in pieces
 1 rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded into bite size pieces
 (about 3 cups)
          ( I used four rotisserie chicken breasts from Marcs deli section)
 1 cup half-and-half

 1.  Cook bacon in Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes.
 Using slotted sppon remove bacon from pot.  Pour off all but 1 tablespoon
 fat from pot.  Cook green onions, carrots, celery, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in
 bacon fat until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.  Add flour and
 cook until golden, 1-2 minutes.

 2.  Stir in broth and potatoes and bring to boil.  Reduce heat to medium-low
 and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 10-12 minutes.  Add
 chicken and half-and -half and simmer until chicken is heated through, about
 2 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper

Cooking Challenge #5 Results

I made my pot roast this week.  The pot was a delicious and filled the house with the most appetizing aromas!  I did not make the potatoes, though.  I fully intended to, but realized that my potatoes were starting to rot so we had buttered noodles with it instead. I have made those potatoes before, though and they are super fattening and wonderful!! I forgot to take a picture of it, anyway.

I think for now, I will just post recipes and where I have gotten them.  I know everyone is busy and maybe not able to do the "challenge".  If you have a recipe you want to share, please email me at Becfie@aol.com with it and I will be happy to pass it along.

BTW, the stir-fry from last night was "okay".  I don't think I will pass it on this time, not a keeper.
