Today I tried Martha’s Farmhouse Chowder from the Midwest on page 238.
When I think of a chowder, I tend to think of New England and clams. This is a chicken chowder that comes out of Midwestern farms. It has onion, carrot, turnip and rutabaga, so you know it’s nutritious as well as delicious! That’s one of my favorite things, finding new meals that taste great and are also very healthy. And I happen to think rutabagas are awesome (and under-appreciated) so I love coming up with new ways to use them!
This chowder is as comforting as wrapping yourself in your favorite blanket on a chilly night. The vegetables mingle perfectly with the tender chicken and subtle broth with just a enough cream to make it rich without being heavy.
I know it may seem odd to crave a hot chowder in the middle of my first Floridian summer, but I think a nice, creamy chowder is something to enjoy all year long! Jeff and I really enjoyed this one and we’ll definitely be making it again soon.
