Soup, Chili, Stew and Dumpling Recipes
'Tis the season for leftovers, and this what I do with my leftover Thanksgiving turkey. However this hearty, and I mean hearty, chowder is good anytime and especially during the cool autumn and cold winter months. It's a meal in itself.
* You can substitute rotisserie chicken for the turkey. Just piece out the entire chicken (skimpy wings excluded) and add to chowder mixture, then heat as suggested.
Serving suggestions: Best when served with a warm whole loaf of sourdough bread, for RIPPING and DIPPING. Also try adding some shredded Monterey Jack or medium/sharp Cheddar cheese (or a combo of both) and some thinly sliced green onion to the chowder when served in bowl. For a real treat surprise your family or guests by serving in a rounded hollowed out sourdough bread loaf, aka "sourdough bread bowl".
Although this recipe is not a 'from scratch', for some reason it tastes like it is. I think the use of the heavy cream and the 20 to 30 minutes simmer after heating contribute to a really 'homemade' taste.
