An oldie but a goodie...

I made this recipe up on my own, and so I don't know what to call it other than Potato Corn Chowder.  It is so made up that the recipe changes based on what I have.

Here is the basics, and you can add whatever else you want.

Chicken
Corn
Potatoes
Onion
Fresh garlic, pressed
Broth of some kind (I used no salt added vegetable broth this time, but I have also used chicken bullion)
Milk
Grated cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste

I start out with a little butter or oil of some kind to sautee the onions in.  I like adding bacon, so I cooked up a pound of bacon, and sauteed the onions and garlic in some of the bacon grease.  I then added some celery, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, corn, chicken, potatoes, and butternut squash.  I added some vegetable stock, oregano, thyme, sage, and rosemary, and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes until the veggies were still just a little firm, then I added about some milk, and about a pound of shredded Italian cheese blend.  I mixed it all up, and used some flour and water to thicken it and then seasoned with salt and pepper until it tasted good.  I have also added nutmeg and cinnamon to this, and it gives it a nice taste as well.

This is such a simple meal to make, and since I make it with whatever I have in the fridge, it is a great way to finish up some of the vegetables from my Bountiful Baskets each week.  Not to mention on these colder nights, it warms you through and through.
