How to Make Smoked Chicken And Vegetable Chowder

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a 6-quart heavy kettle over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced) and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Scrub 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces) under running water.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the kettle. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook over moderately low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Whisk in 3 cups chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously.
  6. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup cauliflower florets, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 medium carrot (diced), 1/2 green bell pepper (diced), 1/2 zucchini (diced), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 2 cups cooked smoked chicken (or 2 cups cooked unsmoked chicken breast, shredded). Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  7. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste.
  8. Serve immediately in bread bowls for the ultimate comfort food experience!
  9. Makes approximately 8 servings.
