Tuna Chowder

My sister Carol asked for my recipe for tuna chowder. I use the one from the Tightwad Gazette. Here it is.

The Tightwad Gazette.

Tuna Cheddar Chowder
2 carrots, shredded
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
2 cups chicken broth2 cups milk
1 6 1/2 oz can of tuna fish, drained and flaked
1/2 teaspoon celery seed (I often leave this out)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 t salt
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
In a large saucepan, saute the carrots and onions in the butter until onion is transparent. Mix in the flour. Add the chicken broth and milk. Heat and stir constantly until thick and bubbling. Add the tuna, celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Heat through. Add the cheese and stir until it melts. Serves four.
