I found this soup really tastey with lots of bits of corn and ham. Great meal for one of those chilly night and a great use for left over ham. Tastes even better the next day.

Creamy Chicken Chowder image

Inspired by local bounty, this chowder is rich with chicken and earthy carrots, rutabagas, and turnips, all bathed in a creamy stock and sprinkled with dill.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
8 to 10 cups water
1 large onion, 1/2 left whole, 1/2 chopped
2 carrots, 1 halved lengthwise, 1 cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 stems fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
10 whole black peppercorns
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour, preferably Wondra
1 small turnip, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 ounces rutabaga or parsnip, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Coarse salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped, for garnish
Vermont Common crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Place chicken, breast side down, in a large pot. Add enough water to just cover chicken. Add whole 1/2 onion, carrot halves, parsley, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, partially covered. Reduce heat, and simmer gently for 1 hour. Remove chicken, and let cool. Strain broth through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth into another pot, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes to reduce and intensify flavor. Shred chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding bones and skin.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and diced carrot, and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in reserved chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Add turnip, rutabaga or parsnip, and 2 1/2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat, and simmer until root vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir in reserved chicken and the cream, and heat until warmed through, about 1 minute. Season with salt, and garnish with dill. Serve immediately with crackers on the side.

Tips:

  • For a creamier chowder, use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • Add a splash of dry white wine or beer to the chowder for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have any fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables instead.
  • To make the chowder ahead of time, simply cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chowder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • When you're ready to serve the chowder, simply reheat it over medium heat until it's warmed through.

Conclusion:

This farmhouse ham and vegetable chowder is a hearty and flavorful soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's made with simple, everyday ingredients and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting soup, give this recipe a try.
