CHEESY VEGETABLE CHOWDER

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable

Yield 6 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb bacon fried
1 chopped white onion
1 cup chopped carrot
2.5 cups of chopped russet potatoes
2 bullion cubes
1 cup water
3 cups milk
17 oz can of corn undrained
3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese dusted in 3 tbs of flour

Steps:

  • Cook bacon and set aside. Do not discard grease. Cook onions in grease, drain off half of the grease. Add potatoes until al dente. Add water, milk, carrots, bullion, and corn. Cook until vegetables cooked. Stir in cheese. Eat.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many vegetables to the pot at once, they won't cook evenly. Add them in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Bring the chowder to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season to taste: Taste the chowder before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Cheesy vegetable chowder is a hearty and satisfying soup that's perfect for a cold day. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
