What's Cooking Wednesday #16

I haven't been in much of a cooking mood lately, so I fell back on a traditional comfort food recipe for this week's What's Cooking Wednesday:

Tuna Cheese Chowder

2 medium carrots, shredded (about 1 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups chicken broth
1 can flaked tuna, drained
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a 3 qt saucepan, cook carrots and onions in butter until onion is tender but not brown. Blend in flour. Add milk and chicken broth. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in tuna, celery seed, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Heat through. Add cheese; heat and stir until cheese is melted.

4 servings (I usually double the recipe as it freezes well)

So it might not look overly appetizing, but it is so good! Serve with a nice crusty bread for dipping!
