Hearty chowder packed with broccoli, potatoes, and Velveeta. Creamy and cheesy with plenty of fresh, colorful vegetables.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 finely diced white or yellow onion
02 - 1 cup finely chopped celery
03 - 3 cups peeled and chopped red potatoes
04 - 1.5 cups thinly sliced carrots
05 - 1.5 cups chopped fresh broccoli

→ Canned Goods

06 - 2 cans (410 g each) chicken broth
07 - 2 cans (425 g each) corn, undrained
08 - 1 can (425 g) creamed corn

→ Dairy & Cheese

09 - 2 tablespoons butter
10 - 2 cups whole or 2% milk
11 - 340 g Velveeta processed cheese, cubed

→ Dry Mix

12 - 1 packet (74 g) country style white gravy mix

# How to Prepare:

01 - In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and chopped celery. Stir and cook for approximately 5 minutes until fragrant and softened.
02 - Add chicken broth and peeled, chopped potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
03 - Add sliced carrots, chopped broccoli, undrained corn, and creamed corn. Stir well and return to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook for another 15 minutes. Cover the pot to expedite cooking if desired.
04 - In a separate bowl or measuring jug, combine the country style white gravy mix with milk. Whisk until completely blended with no lumps remaining.
05 - Pour the milk-gravy mixture into the soup pot along with cubed Velveeta cheese. Stir continuously and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until cheese is fully melted and chowder has a smooth, creamy consistency. Avoid boiling to prevent the cheese from burning.
06 - Adjust seasonings to taste and serve hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Utilize a combination of reduced-sodium and regular chicken broth to balance flavor and saltiness.
02 - Baby carrots, thinly sliced, are convenient and require no peeling.
03 - Country style white gravy mix is essential to maintain a creamy appearance and avoid unappetizing color.
04 - Increase the quantity of Velveeta for extra cheesiness, adjusting to personal preference.
