Chicken and Sweet Potato Chowder

  

I signed up on the Land-O-Lakes website and found a great recipe. I have been looking for some good fall recipes, and this was a great one. We have a Soup Swap at my church's mom's group next month, and I decided I'll be making this one! The whole family loved it, including my often finicky toddler son.

Ingredients:

• 2 T butter
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut
• 1 to 2 cans of chicken broth
• 1 T minced garlic
• 1 t thyme
• 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
• 1/2 t paprika
• 1 cup Half & Half
• 2 T flour

Instructions:

• Melt butter in pan and add garlic and celery. Cook until tender.
• Add sweet potatoes, chicken broth, garlic and thyme leaves. Cook until mixture boils and potatoes are tender (10 to 15 minutes).
• Stir in chicken and paprika.
• In small bowl, combine half and half with flour until smooth. Gradually add mixture to pan stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened (6 to 8 minutes).

Serve and enjoy! We had ours with oyster crackers.
