Martha's Chowder Recipe

The boys love broccoli and you know Caden's love of corn so I was on the Google search for the perfect recipe. That and I saw the challenger on Iron Chef do a corn chowder. I found this Martha Stewart recipe that worked perfect with a few of my tweaks.

Broccoli Chowder with Corn and Bacon by Martha Stewart

Ingredients

Serves 4

• 4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 large baking potato, peeled and diced
• 1 head broccoli (about 1 pound), cut into bite-size florets, stalks peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup whole milk
• Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

1. In a large pot, cook bacon over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Increase heat to medium. Cook onion, stirring, until it begins to soften, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Add flour; cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Add broth and potato; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cook until potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Add broccoli, corn, thyme, and milk. Cook until broccoli is crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with bacon.

ALEXIS NOTES: Thank you Ms. Amy I'm on a turkey bacon kick so this I switched out with the turkey bacon. I only had red potatoes on hand so I used two of them. I used the whole wheat flour and I didn't have frozen so I used canned corn.

Cole loved it he ate THREE bowls, Caden and Rick turned their noses up at it. More for me and Cole :). NO CLUE WHY IT KEEPS UNDERLINING ... UGH
