Potato Chowder
"I love soups and chowders on cold winter nights. Although I haven't tried this recipe, it looks inviting served with a loaf of warm, fresh homemade bread. Cook time is combination time to cook vegetables and simmer time."

I halved this recipe and it made a lovely dinner for the 3 of us! I served this with crackers and a tuna salad for a nice light supper. Thanks Whisper! Instead of boullion cubes I used powdered chicken style seasoning. -
This is one of those recipes that really improves after it sits for a day or two. At first I thought the carrot flavor was way too strong, but each successive time I tried it I liked it more and more. In addition to the parsley I tossed in a tbs of dried celery flakes, and I used powdered chicken bouillion rather than cubes. This isn't a real thick soup, although it might be made thicker by making a roux with the flour, butter and milk rather than just whisking them together. BF and I are trying a new soup each month and so far this is his favorite.

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
