1/4 cup good olive oil
6 cups chopped yellow onions (4 large onions)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup flour

Creamy Chicken Chowder image

Inspired by local bounty, this chowder is rich with chicken and earthy carrots, rutabagas, and turnips, all bathed in a creamy stock and sprinkled with dill.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
8 to 10 cups water
1 large onion, 1/2 left whole, 1/2 chopped
2 carrots, 1 halved lengthwise, 1 cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 stems fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
10 whole black peppercorns
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour, preferably Wondra
1 small turnip, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 ounces rutabaga or parsnip, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Coarse salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped, for garnish
Vermont Common crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Place chicken, breast side down, in a large pot. Add enough water to just cover chicken. Add whole 1/2 onion, carrot halves, parsley, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, partially covered. Reduce heat, and simmer gently for 1 hour. Remove chicken, and let cool. Strain broth through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth into another pot, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes to reduce and intensify flavor. Shred chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding bones and skin.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and diced carrot, and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in reserved chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Add turnip, rutabaga or parsnip, and 2 1/2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat, and simmer until root vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir in reserved chicken and the cream, and heat until warmed through, about 1 minute. Season with salt, and garnish with dill. Serve immediately with crackers on the side.

Here's what you need: olive oil, riced cauliflower, leek, garlic, kosher salt, vegetable stock, non-dairy milk, asparagus, english pea, lemon, fresh basil, medium red potato, cold water, fresh lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
20 oz riced cauliflower
5 oz leek, tough green ends removed, cut into half moons and rinsed
5 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus 2 teaspoons, divided, plus more to taste
4 cups vegetable stock
2 cups non-dairy milk, plus more to taste, divided
10 oz asparagus, woody stems removed, cut into 1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) pieces
6 oz english pea, frozen
1 lemon, zest
¼ cup fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1 ½ lb medium red potato, cut into 1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) cubes
cold water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the riced cauliflower, leeks, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 2 minutes, until the leeks just begin to soften.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock and 2 cups (480 ml) of non-dairy milk. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the cauliflower is completely broken down and tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus, peas, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 2 minutes, until the vegetables are bright green with some crunch. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and basil. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Wipe out the pan and add the potatoes and enough cold water to cover by 1 inch (1 ¼ cm). Season with 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
  • Remove the pot with the cauliflower from the heat. Blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth and creamy. Add up to 1 cup (240 ml) non-dairy milk or water if needed to thin to your desired consistency.
  • Stir in the reserved asparagus, peas, potatoes, and the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Fresh vegetables: Use fresh, in-season vegetables whenever possible for the best flavor and nutritional value. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, frozen vegetables can be a good substitute.
  • Variety of vegetables: Use a variety of vegetables in your chowder to create a more complex and flavorful dish. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, corn, and peas.
  • Seasoning: Don't be afraid to season your chowder to taste. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Thickening: If you want a thicker chowder, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry. To make a slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch or flour with water until smooth. Then, whisk the slurry into the hot chowder until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serving: Serve your chowder hot with crusty bread or crackers. You can also garnish it with chopped parsley, chives, or bacon bits.
