Day eight (of sixteen days of GREEN): Creamy Potato/Celery Chowder - a delicious way way to "go green"
Resist the urge to turn up your nose at this warm, creamy, and comforting soup - even if it is a light shade of green. I think I could have this every day for lunch. Great as a first course soup, and when made nice and thick - you could even call it a chowder. Sprinkle with chives, parsley, croutons, or cheese. Sometimes when I enjoy a creamy bowl of clam chowder, I wonder if I would enjoy it without the clams... That?s what gave me the idea for this chowder. It?s clam chowder - UNDERstated. You could technically call this a St Patrick?s Day meal, but the green is so subtle you hardly notice it. I added a small amount of potato to take away the slight bitter after taste you often get with celery, and found that it thickened the chowder slightly. The flour completes the thickening. A blender makes quick work of getting this on the stove - so it?s easy to ladle into bowls within about 45 minutes. Serve with Shamrock Cream Biscuits (link is HERE), sliced cheese, and fresh cut apples & winter pears for a light end-of-winter meal. This is a painless way to ?go green? - see if your family doesn?t agree. (I loosely adapted this recipe from ?Super Creamy Celery Soup? on CDKitchen.com) For my step-by-step adaptation, go to:
