Succotash Chowder


We had depleted most of our leftovers, so I concocted this chowder for supper.  The kids wouldn’t “touch it with a ten foot pole,” but Larry and I thought it was very good.  I love succotash!  This is almost fat free and contains loads of fiber! I threw together a few corn bread sticks to go with it.  Yummy!!

Succotash Chowder

Succotash Chowder

1 (14 ounce) bag frozen lima beans
2 cans chicken broth
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 onion, chopped (I used ½ cup of frozen.)
1 can Ro*tel tomatoes, drained (If you don’t want the “heat,” just use stewed tomatoes.)
1 can creamed corn
1 can Mexi-corn

Cover limas with broth, bring to a boil.  Boil for about 3 minutes. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes.  Add potatoes and onion. Continue to cook until potatoes are fork tender - about 10 minutes. (Depending on how thick you like your soup, you may want to remove a bit of the broth at this point. Just use a measuring cup to scoop out a bit of it.) Add drained Ro*tel, and both cans of corn; heat through.

    I LOVE lima beans. I'm not sure if I can find frozen ones, but I think canned would work fine. I can't wait to make this =D

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
