- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 4 cups of potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pot, stirring constantly, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the chowder has thickened.
