Chicken Vegetable Chowdah

Submitted by Elmotoo

"I innocently started out making chicken corn chowder. Then I got the urge to add other STUFF. Suddenly, I wasn't following the recipe anymore. So, here I am... This is a great recipe to use in the summer when there is an abundance of fresh farmstand veggies. You can add/delete vegetables to your hearts content. Enjoy!"
