Happy November - Recipe Flashback

Hello Everyone! I realize I haven't posted in over a month, lots has been going on in what I refer to as "Jill World" including a move which has resulted in my now having a kitchen that is bigger than a shoe box! It's weird not having kitchen supplies in odd places like the bathroom closet, the dishwasher which I used for baking storage, etc. I am in the process of unpacking and getting settled but I am still cooking, I am doing something I often do, making my own recipes! I thought we would do a throw back month where I share with you some recipes I am revisiting and if I change anything up I'll let you know.

It was a whopping 32 degrees when I woke up yesterday and I knew I needed to make something that would warm me right on up. I looked through my recipes and knew that Chicken Corn Chowder would make me quite happy! We ate this after it had been fully cooked and simmering on the stove for a good 1.5-2 hours with the cream added so the flavors had time to start marrying together but I know it will be even better today.



In the original recipe I made it in the slow cooker and only used 2C of stock. This time I added a third cup of stock and cooked it on the stove top. I added everything but the milk, heavy cream and corn starch to a large stock pot, brought up to a boil, reduced to a simmer for about an hour until the potatoes were fully cooked through, then added the milk, cream and corn starch (which had been mixed into the milk), brought back up to a boil and reduced to a simmer one more time for about 20 minutes. Then I turned it down to low and let it sit on the stove for another hour - now keep in mind you could easily eat it after the first 20 minutes of simmering with the cream, but really? the longer it sits the better it is. So I finally gave in and had a bowl and mmmmm mmmmm was I happy :)

Give it a shot when you have a nice cold day coming up or just want to taste the deliciousness! I promise I'll keep on posting, I am cooking, I haven't disappeared! I will also post some of my favorite Thanksgiving Recipes for all of you making the meal or bringing something to a family gathering!
