Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (20 ounce) package Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, diced
14 ounces chicken broth
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 quart half-and-half

2 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

Steps:

Place veggies in medium sauce pan. Add chicken broth (and some water, if necessary) to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
Meantime, melt butter in large pan, add flour, salt and pepper. Whisk until blended.
Slowly add half-and-half to butter/flour roux & whisk constantly until smooth and thickened. (Will be a fairly thick white sauce at this point - about 15 minutes).
Carefully add veggies & liquid to white sauce in large pan.
Add shrimp and vinegar to chowder. Heat through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top individual servings with crumbled bacon.
