Men In Trees Deserve CHOWDAH...
...ESPECIALLY THIS ONE HOLY CHRIST SO GOOD!
Bacon, Veggie & Potato Chowdah!
Ingredients: 1/2 lb bacon chopped (I buy the low sodium bacon)
5 lg potatos cubed small
3 stalks celery chopped
2 T butter
1 Lg onion chopped (I use spanish onions)
3 T all purpose flour
2 & 1/2 cups milk
4 cups chicken stock
1 10oz pkg frozen mixed veggies of your choice
ground thyme
&
salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions: In a large soup pot over medium heat, melt butter
& add bacon & celery.
Cook celery until slightly transparent, (a few minutes) then add onion & pepper.
Cook until onion now becomes slightly transparent & add few shakes of ground thyme.
Add flour in bottom of pot & create a roux.
(a thickneing agent to make it thicker, if it seems a bit dry, you may add more butter)
Slowly stir in milk & stock & blend well.
Cook & stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. (12-14 minutes)
Add potatos & frozen veggies & continue cooking until next full boil. (8-10 minutes)
Reduce heat to low & cook stirring often until potatos are fork tender. (6-8 minutes)
Shut off heat & let sit for about 15 minutes before serving.
We served ours with 'tastefully simple wheat beer bread' OMG SO GOOD!
& so COMPLETELY EASY TO DO!
(that's right, you KNOW you're JEALOUS!)
Normally I take a final shot of the finished dinner but you'll forgive me if tonight I was so hungry that I forgot to do that cuz I was too busy EATING IT! hehehe
Enjoy!
(& happy MEN IN TREES everyone!)
Mmmmmmmmmm JACK!

Is it pronounced "chowdah" or "chowder"? Anyway, this look so good that I am going to try this out tomorrow. I need good warm chowdah for these cold nights. Nathan and I can have it - the girls just give me "the look" meaning "no thanks Mom".
Thanks for sharing the recipe and I am so glad your result of your MRI is good.
