Introduction

A good substitute for those pasty chowders that are loaded with fat and calories. The use of dry milk, cornstarch and mashed potatoes is a way to avoid using creamed canned soups. Sounds kind of weird, but it works! A good substitute for those pasty chowders that are loaded with fat and calories.

Ingredients

6 c chicken stock

.5 c nonfat dry milk

.25 c corn starch

1.5 cup frozen mashed potato "chunks"(you could use dried potato flakes, but I really hate their fakey flavor)

4 tbsp dried onion flakes

.5 tsp garlic powder

.5 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

.5 cup very finely chopped celery

2 c frozen sweet corn

1 or 2 4-oz cans of chopped green chiles (mild)

3 cooked chicken breasts (preferably grilled) and cut into bite sized pieces (or use a good pre-cooked chicken strips product)

1.5 c fat free half and half

Directions

Put stock, dry milk, and corn starch in a large pot. Before heating, stir to combine and then turn on the heat to medium. Add all the other ingredients except the half and half. Cook until celery is soft and flavors have combined. Add half and half and heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings - it may need a bit more salt. Makes a big batch, but freezes well. Approximately 12 - 1.25 cup servings.
