Your FAMILY will LOVE this!! I often make it without potatoes and add LOTS and LOTS of broccoli or cauliflower instead. Then a cup or so of sharp cheddar.....WOW!!
Creamy Potato Chowder(Broccoli or Cauliflower is even better)
3 T. olive oil
3 T. butter
1 sweet onion, diced
2 carrots, shredded
5 T. flour
1 t. salt (to taste)
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. black pepper
3 c. (FF) Half & Half OR milk
1 (15oz) can chicken broth OR 2 cups homemade
5-6 c. diced potatoes (more if you like it really thick with stuff!!)
In a large stockpot, heat oil and butter. Add onion and carrots and let simmer away on medium-low until onions are soft (15 minutes). Add flour and seasoning and stir well. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer over LOW heat for about 2-3 hours, stirring frequently. The long simmer makes it nice and thick and lets the flavors meld wonderfully!!! Don't be impatient! 10 servings
