Time 55m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
3/4 cup chopped celery
2 cups sliced carrots
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 (12 ounce) can low-fat evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon chives
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup cornstarch

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender.
  • Add carrots and celery and cook for 10 minutes or until carrots become a little tender. Add water or broth, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.
  • Add canned and skim milk and parsley and heat just to boiling.
  • In a separate bowl stir cornstarch into cold water. When completely dissolved add to hot soup, stir and serve. Top with chives.
  • If you want a less chunky soup, puree half of the veggies before adding the cornstarch and then use half the amount of cornstarch.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest chowder, use a combination of heavy cream and milk. You can also use all milk, but the chowder will be thinner.
  • To make the chowder ahead of time, cook it according to the directions and then let it cool completely. Store the chowder in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chowder over medium heat until warmed through.
  • If you don't have any fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables instead. Just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the chowder.
  • To make the chowder vegetarian, omit the bacon. You can also add more vegetables, such as diced zucchini or chopped spinach.
  • Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This Very Creamy Vegetable Chowder a la Moosewood is a delicious and hearty soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its creamy broth, tender vegetables, and smoky bacon, this chowder is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
