Karen's Mock Clam Chowder

By Diana Rattray, About.com

This chicken chowder is made with clam juice and chicken, along with milk and corn. A great chowder for people who like the taste of clam chowder, but don't like the texture of clams.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound bacon, diced
  • 1/4 pound ham
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 2 cups diced celery
  • 2 cups diced carrots
  • 4 cups diced potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked, diced chicken (or turkey) meat
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 bottles clam juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can whole kernel corn with liquid
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 4 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or jack)
  • 1/2 pint whipping cream (not whipped)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley

Preparation:

In large skillet saute bacon, ham, onions, and celery until bacon is crisp and onions and celery are limp. Add salt and pepper. Put contents of skillet along with potatoes, carrots, chicken, broth, clam juice, and corn into slow cooker, cover, and cook on low 6 to 8 hours or high 3 to 4 hours. Whisk flour into milk, and add to pot along with cheese, whipping cream, and parsley and cook one more hour on high.
Karen's Note:
It may not be low-fat and cholesterol free, but it is wonderful holiday fare for a crowd.
