Chicken Chowder for Two
Ingredients
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup diced or grated carrot
2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup diced potato (fresh or frozen)
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (4 ounces) cooked and diced chicken
½ cup low-fat or nonfat milk
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon red wine vinegar (optional)
black pepper to taste (optional)
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Rinse or scrub fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.
- In a medium saucepan, sauté onion and carrot on medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add broth, potato, thyme, garlic powder and salt. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer until the potatoes are soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, stir flour and milk together in a small dish.
- Add chicken to the saucepan and stir 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.
- Slowly add milk mixture and stir as the soup thickens. Boil gently for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Before serving, add vinegar and pepper, if desired.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Substitute the diced carrot with any combination of carrot, celery, pepper or leek.
- Substitute other vegetables such as corn or broccoli for half of the potatoes.

Thanks for this recipe that makes just the right amount of soup for a meal for 2! Some recipes make so much and we don't always want so many leftovers.
