Potato, Broccoli & Chicken Chowder

Our dinner tonight was warm, comforting and fully enjoyed by each & every little{and BIG}family member in our home. I thought I would share it's yummy-ness with all of you!

Potato Broccoli & Chicken Chowder

Ingredients
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 32 ounce carton organic chicken stock
3 cups red potato, cubed (about 1 1/4 pounds) 
2 cups small broccoli florets
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups organic baby spinach, finely chopped 
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and coarsely cubed
1 1/4 cups organic whole milk 
1 (8-ounce) cheddar cheese, shredded
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire/soy sauce (use one or the other or mix both, which is what I prefer to do)
Pepper to taste
2 green onions, chopped

Put potato, broccoli, onion, garlic and
*thickening into pan on medium heat. Bring to a low simmer with lid on for 8 minutes or until potatoes are beginning to soften, stirring occasionally.  Add the rest of the stock and bring to a boil for 5 more minutes or until desired consistency is reached. Add spinach and cubed chicken, milk and cheese stirring until cheese is melted and chowder is thoroughly heated through. Add Worcestershire/Soy sauce mixture and pepper to taste, stirring well. Sprinkle a few fresh green onions on the top of each serving of chowder.

*flour and 2 cups stock

I paired this yummy dinner with freshly baked apples for dessert. This apple recipe is not exactly the same as mine, but it is close. I added about 1/4 cup of oats to the stuffing, as well as dashes of ginger and cloves. Such a comforting meal! Hope you enjoy!
