Curry gives this just the right amount of zip without being overpowering. I especially like all the veggies in the recipe. My kids always loved it, even when they were young, and I always had to make a double or triple batch to make sure we had enough leftovers.-Becky Ruff, McGregor, Iowa

BACON, POTATO AND CHEDDAR CHOWDER



BACON, POTATO AND CHEDDAR CHOWDER image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Cheese     Potato     Quick & Easy     Simmer

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slices bacon, chopped
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp fresh or dried thyme
4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2-3 thin skinned potatoes, unpeeled and diced
1 cup half & half
1 cup grated old cheddar

Steps:

  • In a largish pot, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Add the oil and the onions to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes, until soft. Sprinkle the flour and thyme over the onions and stir to coat, cooking for a minute. Add the stock and potatoes, bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Add the half & half and cheddar and cook for a few more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Stir in the bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a good-quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder. If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can make your own by simmering vegetables in water for 30 minutes.
  • Don't skimp on the potatoes. Potatoes are the main ingredient in this chowder, so make sure you use plenty of them. A good rule of thumb is to use about 2 pounds of potatoes for every 8 cups of broth.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. You want the potatoes to be soft enough to easily mash with a fork, but you don't want them to fall apart.
  • Add the milk and cream at the end of the cooking process. This will prevent the milk and cream from curdling.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like until the chowder is flavorful.
  • Serve the chowder with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings for potato chowder include bacon, cheese, sour cream, and chives.

Conclusion:

Potato chowder is a hearty and delicious soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a potato chowder that will warm you up from the inside out.
