Chowders

Chowder is a comfort food for the winter.  Give one or all a try.

Tuna Chowder:

2 shredded carrots.         1 chopped onion.           1 small rib of celery, chopped
1/4 cup butter.                   1/4 cup flour.                 1 can corn     
  1 can tuna, undrained.    1 large potato, diced
2 cups chicken broth.       2 cups milk.                   Salt and pepper to taste

Saute carrots, onion and celery in butter.  Add flour.  Add remaining ingredients. Cook until potatoes are done and soup has thickened.

If you find a good deal, substitute canned salmon for the tuna.
