Chicken Chowder


I first cooked this chicken chowder as lunch for Skyler when he was right about 8 months old. For older toddler, this is great to serve as a soup or a side dish.

I mashed part of the potato for 8 months old Skyler

At one year old, I cooked everything in a bigger chunk.


Ingredients:
1/3 C. diced and cooked boneless breast or ground chicken
1/4 C. cubed and cooked potato
3 T. shredded mild Cheddar or American cheese
1 C. milk
2 tsp. butter
Peas, carrots, and corn

Cooking Instructions:
Mix chicken, veggies, potato, milk, and butter in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in cheese. Serve warm.


Note:  I like to stir in some pasta, which makes a complete meal...for kids. To make the soup creamer, I will also mash some of the cooked potato, and stir into the soup to get the creamy taste. Don't forget I cooked this when Skyler was little, so I did not use any heavy cream or any kind of flour to thicken it, just some very simple ingredient with no salt and spices...still taste very good.
