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.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I left it out of this recipe. It was still delicious!

This chowder is a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more broth next time.
