Cheesy Chicken Chowder

Wonderful flavor! A real favorite of our kids when they were growing up.

Ingredients

  • 49-1/2 oz. can of chicken broth
  • 3 c. diced peeled potatoes
  • 1 c. diced carrots
  • 1 c. diced celery
  • 1/2 c. diced onion
  • 1/4 fresh minced parsley
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 c. butter
  • 2/3 c. flour
  • 2 c. milk
  • 2 c. shredded American cheese or 8 oz. reduced-fat Velveeta cheese
  • 2 c. diced cooked chicken

Instructions

Heat chicken broth to a boil. Reduce heat and add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender (about 20 minutes).

Melt butter in a medium saucepan; add flour and stir with a whisk until mixed well. Gradually stir in milk and cook over low heat until slightly thickened.

Stir in cheese and cook until melted; add to broth along with chicken. Cook and stir over low heat until heated through.

NOTE: You can get American cheese at the deli counter (buy a chunk and shred) or 8 oz. package (need to shred) by Crystal Farms in grocery stores.
