It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This cheesy chicken chowder has an array of veggies that makes sure that it isn't just delicious, but redeeming and hearty as well.

3 cups chicken broth
2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup flour, more if you prefer a thicker chowder
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 cups diced cooked chicken
In a 4 quart saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Reduce heat; add potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan; add flour and mix well. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over low heat until slightly thickened. Stir in cheese and cook until melted.
Add to broth along with chicken. Cover and stir over low heat until heated through.
