Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c raw potatoes, diced
10 oz frozen mixed vegetables

1 Tbsp chopped parsely
2 low salt cubes of chicken bullion or soup base
5 - 6 hot dogs, sliced into 1/4" rings
1/4 c flour
2 c milk, 2%
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
1/2 c chopped broccoli (opt.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of hot dogs: All-beef hot dogs are the best choice for chowder, as they have a more robust flavor than other types of hot dogs.
  • Don't overcook the hot dogs: Overcooked hot dogs will become tough and chewy. Simmer them just until they are heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your chowder more flavor and texture. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Season the chowder well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other spices and herbs that you enjoy. A bay leaf or two can also add a nice flavor.
  • Let the chowder simmer for a while: This will help the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the chowder with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include oyster crackers, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions.
