  • 5. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 4 minutes; do not let brown.
  • 6. Stir in chicken broth; bring just to a boil.
  • 7. Turn heat to low; add broccoli, chicken, half-and-half and seasonings. You can use an immersion blender at this point to incorporate ingredients a bit.
  • 8. Heat through but do not boil. Test for seasonings. Garnish with crumbled bacon and cheese if desired.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, take the time to chop your vegetables, mince your garlic, and measure out your spices. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of your chowder, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook your vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your chowder a more complex and interesting flavor. Some good options include broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
  • Season your chowder to taste: Start with a small amount of salt and pepper and then add more to taste. Be careful not to over-season, as you can always add more seasoning later but it's difficult to remove it.
  • Serve your chowder immediately: Chowder is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it's finished cooking.

Conclusion:

Broccoli mushroom chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's packed with vegetables and has a creamy, flavorful broth.
