Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dry thyme
  • 1 lb Blushing Belle Little Potato Company potatoes cut in 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk or light cream; if you want it richer you can sub in heavy cream
  • 3 Tbsp flour
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ lb cooked chicken shredded or chopped in ½ inch pieces
  • 1 cup frozen peas or mixed vegetables thawed
  • Kosher salt and pepper freshly ground to taste

Instructions

  • In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, and thyme and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the potatoes and the chicken or vegetable broth.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer with the lid on until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, in a small jar, shake together the flour and milk or cream to make a slurry.
  • Grate the cheese and thaw the frozen peas or mixed vegetables.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, add the flour cream slurry to the Dutch oven, stir for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
