Summer Vegetable Chowder

Summer Vegetable Chowder by SKBrecipes.com

Summer Vegetable Chowder is perfect for the fall and harvest time! This chowder is a great way to use up some of your harvest vegetables and warm your body when the cold starts creeping in. It’s so good, you just might get your kids to eat their veggies without a fight! We originally featured this recipe on Sisters Know Best. It’s only 6 Weight Watchers smart points per serving but the ingredients make it creamy and hearty so you won’t feel like you’ve missed out on anything.

Summer Vegetable Chowder by SKBrecipes.comIt started out as a vegetarian meal but my husband is a carnivore, so we learned it works perfectly with leftover ham or chicken or strictly as a vegetarian recipe. It takes only an hour to make, so it’s an easy fix even on the busy weekdays. Or, you can start it in your crockpot before you head out for the day and come home to a tasty chowder. The smell of this chowder will be sure to welcome you home and get your stomach growling!  If you opt to make it in the crockpot, you may need to add the cornstarch thickener after you get home.

Summer Vegetable Chowder is Versatile

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it works with just about any vegetable. Use celery, peppers, and mushrooms in this recipe to give variety. You can add them to the ingredients or replace what is already there. Sometimes I add asparagus and broccoli to mine to add some green to the color palette!
