Delicious Potato Chowder Recipe

I've worked with this recipe quite a bit and I think I've found a good balance of flavors. I don't usually measure my spices so the measurements are approximate. If you can't find chicken bouillon powder, you can substitute 1 or 2 cubes, depending on your preference. I also use a large dice on potatoes and only slice the carrots. I also think letting it sit on the stove on low for at least an hour helps thicken it up and blend everything quite tastily!!

Ingredients:

• 6 cups diced potatoes


• 1/2 cup chopped onions


• 1/2 cup chopped carrots


• 2 cups frozen corn


• 10 stalks frozen asparagus, chopped into ½ - 1 inch pieces


• 3 cups milk


• 6 cups water


• 6 Tbsp. butter


• 1 ½ tsp. salt


• 2 tsp. pepper


• 1 tsp. Italian seasoning


• 1 tsp. oregano


• 1 tsp. paprika


• 1 tsp. chicken bouillon powder


• 2 cloves minced garlic


• 4 tbsp. all purpose flour

Bring water to a boil in large stockpot. Add potatoes, onions, and carrots and let boil for 5 minutes.

Add milk and butter; boil for 3 minutes more. Add seasonings and stir.

Remove 1-2 cups soup into bowl and whisk in flour until mixed. Return to pot and stir thoroughly.

Add frozen corn and asparagus and let boil at least 5 minutes. Turn heat to low and stir occasionally until slightly thickened. Serve when vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended.
