A good chowder

Well, with our dreary weather, so rainy, cold and damp, it was a good night for some homemade soup at our house last night. This one is always dependable, super easy, and we love it. Even Sammy loved it!

Potato and Onion Chowder (from the Lion House Cookbook)
1 cup diced onions
1/2 c. diced celery
2 Tbsp. butter
2 c. chicken broth
1 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
2 cups sliced or cubed raw, peeled potatoes
1 c. milk
1 c. light cream (or you can use 2 cups milk)
parsley to garnish

Saute onions and celery in butter until transparent, but not browned. Add broth, salt, pepper, and potatoes. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and boil gently until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add milk and cream. Heat thouroughly. Makes about 5 servings.

We often top with cheese and/or bacon for some extra fat grams!
