CHICKEN CHOWDER

With our crazy weather, many days lately have been "Soup Days". You know those days, don't you? When you are thinking about what you would taste good, soup is what comes to mind. So I was really excited when I was checking out the new Amish cookbook Friend Jean found for me, and saw several soups that looked interesting.

This recipe for Chicken Chowder was contributed by Ella Miller of Fresno, OH in Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Cookbook.  I followed the recipe exactly, but as Wayne and I were enjoying our first bowl, we both agreed it would probably be a good way to use some leftover turkey after Turkey Day. I cooked one chicken breast and it was just a little over 1-1/2 cups cut up. I just added the last few cubes.
