I thawed out 3 squirrels I had previously killed to add to the 5 I took last week for "chowder". I placed all of the pieces in the pressure cooker for 30 minutes using beef stock for moisture. There must have been one old limb chicken in the mix, because even after 30 minutes....I had 4 quarter pieces of what you could compare to "Super-Ball" material... All the rest just fell off the bone.

I'm guessing this will work with rabbits as well. You guys that have tried it do you think it would work with game birds, or maybe even a combination of whatever you happen to have left in the freezer???

Yep, it'll work. Any dark meat wild or tame will work in the recipe.

If you use the full recipe you'll have enough to feed Coxey's army.

I've thrown as high as 12 squirrels in the full recipe, even though it only calls for 4-8. I think you can add even more corn than I do, or even try other veggies. Last batch, I put in more cheeses than it called for. Lotsa room for sperimenting..... maddog

I add more cheese...never a bad thing. Toss in some sliced mushrooms..corn...anything that suits you. This recipe has no boundaries. Just stick with the basics..

I'm gonna test the boundaries! I have the breasts from four HUGE sage grouse cocks in the freezer. If anything, I bet I'll eat it. Can't speak for the rest of the household.

Just tried out the recipe last week using a goose and a couple of ducks from the weekend goose hunt. Don't know what happened but using the recipe it turned out to thin for my liking, so the wife added a little corn starch and water to thicken it up some. Pretty tasty stuff, just waiting for rabbit season to open now.

I gotta try this. I love Chowder and love squirrel hunting.

Just got done making a pot. WOW! My girlfriend would never eat squirrel, went as far as not allowing them in her kitchen. She just had a bowl, and gave me instructions to go shoot some more squirrels. The only variations I made, was to add a can of cream of mushroom soup (campells ... because I only had half a pint of half & half),and added some corn from the garden. I also used four squirrels and one ruffed grouse. Thanks for the recipe!

Made with squirrel, rabbit, or chicken this is without a doubt the best soup of any kind I have ever eaten!
+1 on adding some sweet corn.
