Great recipe! Quick, easy, healthy, and yum : )
Family really enjoyed this chowder. Son couldn’t stop raving about it. Was very easy to make. Thanks, loved it!
Can you freeze this?
Could you use the frame to make chicken stock for your chowder? Have just started using smoked chickens and would like to use them for stock if possible.
Hi Judym, yes you can make a stock from the frame for the chowder – very economical to use that and it will give a better depth of flavour.
At what stage do you add the chicken? I would guess after the milk and sour cream? Sounds delicious!
Step 3 …… add chicken when potatoes are tender.
