CHRIS' CREAMY CHUNKY CHOWDER

Steps:

• Place frozen large pieces of chicken, or cube fresh pieces of chicken, in large saucepan with the broth and all spices (also add 1 dash McCormick's Hot Shot! and 1 teaspoons Mrs. Dash Garlic Herb Table Blend) but not the garlic yet. Put the heat on high; once boiling, lower the temperature to medium. Cut up the vegetables while the chicken cooks and add to the pot. Cook for 15 minutes and check doneness of chicken and vegetables. Once chicken is just about cooked, take the big pieces of chicken out and cut into cubes and add uncooked pasta to the pot. Put chicken back in pot with the minced garlic. Let cook for a few more minutes and turn off heat when pasta is soft enough. Add sour cream and milk just before serving - do not let them boil.

CHUNKY VEGETABLE CLAM CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a large pot add bacon (I cut into bite size pieces) saute lightly.

• Add Chicken broth (I often use two cans of both the broth and the clams) potatoes, carrots, reserved clam juice, salt, pepper and simmer until vegetables are done.
• Add in the milk, clams and chopped parsley stirring frequently until heated through.
• You may wish to serve at this point but we make a roux melting shortening in a heavy pan, adding the flour browning to golden brown and whisking into chowder.
