Chicken and Corn Chowder

Meal two of our rotisserie chicken series is a tasty chicken and corn chowder in a smaller format to make sure someone that lives alone like myself can get through it before it goes bad in the freezer. It’s also a great way to use up any corn that you froze from the end of the season. I often keep my cobs of corn after stripping the kernels themselves in my freezer regardless of if I bought the ears at the market or at the grocery store for just this purpose.

Dairy can be frozen, but it doesn’t hold up to the process as well as some other soups. If you have leftovers from this meal, freeze them in a single layer and eat within one month.

For pricing purposes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and flour have been left out assuming that is on hand. That will of course increase the price of the recipe if you are buying them at the store in preparation.

Locally Sourced Beef Stew Recipe

Soup season may be passing us by, but the ingredients for a good beef stew are still out there and available from local producers. All fresh items in this recipe came from our friends at Produce with Purpose other than my carrots. This is my preferred way to cook– but you can of course get these items and their substitutions at any grocery store.

A pot will serve 4-6 people plain, or you can stretch it up to twice its capacity by serving with rice or over top mashed potatoes.

If, like me, you’re alone in your home right now, this recipe freezes well. Use a souper cube to freeze leftovers or allow the soup to cool before scooping into quart sized bags. Squeeze out the air, seal, and freeze. I often find I can eat a quart of the frozen soup in a day on my own, and by doing that with this recipe, I enjoyed over six meals with it by myself.

This recipe is a base for using whatever you have in your fridge that simply needs to go. Greens like spinach or kale can also be added to make sure it gets a second chance as well. No white beans? Kidney beans or black beans will be fine. No fresh tomato? A can of diced tomatoes will render a similar amount of liquid as the large fresh diced tomato.

I also keep bouillon on hand to make some chicken broth for whenever I don’t have any homemade stock around. In these first few weeks alone, it’s been especially useful. I don’t eat enough meat to have the bones around for a good stock as often as I used to when feeding two people instead of one.
