Carmelzied Onion and Bacon Chowder 

 

Last week we had to go to Portland for a Doctor's appointment, so we didn't pass up the opportunity to go to one of our favorite restaurants, Walter's in the Old Port.

When I l ooked at the specials board I knew immediately that this chowder was on my list of things to get.   It was just as good as it sounds.  Barbara said I think I can make this, that was great she usually doesn't do things like that, but I was anxious to try her version.   Barbara nailed it on the first try and I wanted to share it with you, I didn't get any pictures but hopefully next time.

 

Ingredients

 

5 good size onions thin sliced

 

1 pound of bacon, make it the good thick sliced, we used Primrose.

 

tsp pepper

 

1/4 cup Chives

 

2 cups low sodium chicken broth

 

1 pint Heavy cream

 

1/2 cup half and half

 

Scallions to garnish

 

Procedure

 

Cut bacon in 1/2 inch pieces, leave the fat on half the bacon and discard 1/2 the fat.  Brown bacon, add Onions and cook slowly until carmelized.  Add pepper to taste but remember you want to the flavor of the main ingedients to shine through.

 

To a large pot or a slower cooker add all ingredients.  Heat slowly until hot enough to serve.

 

Enjoy!!
