STEP 1
Melt butter in 4-quart saucepan; add leek. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 7-10 minutes or until leek is tender. Add sweet potatoes, chicken broth, garlic and thyme leaves; continue cooking 9-11 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil and sweet potatoes are tender. Stir in chicken and paprika.

- Leeks are related to both garlic and onion, but their flavor is milder. To slice leeks; trim roots and leaf ends. Slit the leek lengthwise from top to bottom and wash thoroughly. Slice or chop as desired. Store refrigerated in resealable plastic food bag up to 5 days.
- Cubed or diced cooked chicken is available in the freezer section of the supermarket.
- Sweet potatoes are available in light and dark skins. The lighter skins have a pale yellow or white interior; those with darker orange skins have a bright orange interior. Either may be used in this recipe.
Brrr. That chill in the air can only mean one thing: It’s time to warm up with a pot of chowder. Or two. Or ten. On the stovetop or in the slow cooker, chowder is easy and filling.
