My mother discovered this recipe while I was still a child, and we loved it! To save time, I sometimes cook the carrots and potatoes in the microwave. Either way, this chowder is perfect for a family supper and special enough for company.—Marilyn Yost, Livingston, California
Ingredients:
12 bacon strips, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound ground turkey or beef
2 to 3 cups diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
4 cups milk
3 to 4 cups diced peeled potatoes, cooked and drained
2 cups sliced fresh carrots, cooked and drained
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
minced fresh parsley
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp; pour off drippings and remove bacon to paper towel to drain.
2. In the same skillet, cook the beef, celery and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender; drain. Add the soup, milk, potatoes, carrots, salt, pepper and reserved bacon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until heated through. Garnish with parsley. Yield: 10-12 servings.
