Yes, I have dreams about my blog to-do list. Don't make fun.
Anyway, I made a deeeeelicous soup on Christmas day for my family. It's called Rocky Mountain Potato Chowder. My mom has been making this for years, and now it's something I make every winter. She doesn't remember where she found the recipe, but we've altered it so much that, by now, it hardly matters.
1 bunch sliced green onions (separate white and green)
1 cup sliced carrot
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 can of corn, drained
.5 lb of deli turkey, sliced
2 packages of pre-cooked chicken (or cook and chop your own)
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs (3-4) Colorado potatoes
Bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups milk
2 tbsp cornstarch
Thyme, salt and pepper
1 cup sliced carrot
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 can of corn, drained
.5 lb of deli turkey, sliced
2 packages of pre-cooked chicken (or cook and chop your own)
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs (3-4) Colorado potatoes
Bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups milk
2 tbsp cornstarch
Thyme, salt and pepper
For Christmas, I got a big ole Le Creuset pot. A real big'un. Perfect for a vat of soup like this.

Zucchini!
The green onions, separated, of course
Chopped red bell pepper
Cut up deli turkey
Cut up 2 packages of that pre-cooked chicken
Sliced carrot
Cook a bunch of slices of bacon, how ever many you like
Crumble it up!
Put it all together. It's time to get started!!
Over medium heat, brown the light green onions
Measure out 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, place in pot and heat.
Add in the peeled, chopped potatoes
Cover this and cook 15 minutes
Add carrots, cook 5 minutes
Add pepper, zucchini and corn
And add the thyme
Stir it up! Give it a few more minutes
Add turkey, chicken and onion tops
Stir that up
Mix cornstarch and milk separately
Add that to the pot.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
You're almost done. Relax. This isn't meant to be complicated.
Reduce the heat.
Last thing you add is your crumbled up bacon and as much salt or pepper as it needs.
