Preparation:
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Saute onion and celery
until softened but not brown. Add potatoes, Chicken broth, SandP, basil and
carrots. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until
potatoes are just tender. Brown sliced sausage pieces in a fry pan, add to
chowder. Add cream of mushroom soup and corn. Simmer until potatoes and
carrots are done to your desired level of mushiness ( I like em mushy in my
chowder). Add grated cheese and milk powder. If the chowder is too thin,
you can remove some of it and put throught the blender to thicken, if it is
too thick, add water. Adjust seasonings if desired. Serve with bread or
crackers.
This can either be cooked as direced in the recipe, or for about 10 hours
in the crock pot, on HI, adding the milk powder and cheese at the end. |
