Simple Potato Chowder

Serves 4 to 6

Chowders, thick fall and winter soups traditionally made with dairy products like milk or heavy cream, are a comfort food for many of us. Stir a cup of thawed frozen corn into the chowder during the last 5 minutes of cooking, if desired. For a heartier version, leave the potatoes unpeeled.

    Ingredients: 
    • 1 1/2 pound red potatoes, peeled and diced (about 5 cups)
    • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
    • 1 cup packed grated carrots
    • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
    • 4 cups 2% milk
    • 2 teaspoons Better than Bouillon, (optional)
    • Cayenne, to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • Ground black pepper, to taste
    • Paprika for garnish
