perfect for a rainy day

My friend Kim gave me a recipe for a chowder. Everything I have ever tried from her has been delicious so last night I made it, along with homemade bread bowls (yes, people I am that domestic). It was a hit with not only the husband, but also the Ethiopians (my kids, who have bloated bellies because they won't ever eat the food I cook for them.) Cooper declared it "his favorite" I decided to share it with all of you-hope that's all right with you Kim-I am giving you the credit for it!!

Chicken Chowder

1 small onion (saute in 1 Tbsp butter)

3 c. chicken broth

3 medium carrots, chopped

2 medium potatoes, cubed

2 c. cubed chicken

1 c. milk

1/4 c. flour

2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

salt and pepper

1 8oz. cream cheese ( I used half)

Saute onion in butter. Add chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, and cook till tender. Add chicken, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir flour into the milk and add to thicken. Boil till thick. Add cream cheese and stir till it's all melted. Sorry No cooking demo with this one!!!
