This is a very hearty chowder, great for cold days and Since my husband doesn't like seafood but does like a chowder I came up with this by taking parts of other recipes.

How To Make chicken and spinach chowder

  • Step 1
    Sauté the onion and garlic in the butter and olive oil, when the onion becomes translucent, add the flour, and make a roux, let the butter and flour mixture cook for about a minute before adding 1 quart of half and half.
  • Step 2
    Into the roux add in the carrots and chicken. Once the mixture becomes thick add the chicken broth. Once the mixture thickens again, add the spinach, and seasonings.
  • Step 3
    I like to add the green onion and parmesan cheese on top when serving
  • Step 4
    This is a very fast moving recipe so I have everything measured and ready so as to not burn it
