Instructions

- Stir, bring to simmer then adjust to medium. Simmer 5 minutes until potato is just tender.
- Soup Thickener: Mix together milk and cornflour, then pour into soup.
- Stir and simmer for 1 minute until it thickens into a creamy soup (see video for thickness).
- Add more salt if needed.
- Ladle into bowls, top with green onion and bacon. Devour!
Notes
- * Use empty corn can to measure these ingredients!
- Variations:
- Nutrition per serving assuming 3 servings (generous!)
- Make it vegetarian - skip the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock.
- No bacon? With with ham, or skip it, stir in 1/4 cup parmesan instead to add a hit of savouriness.
- Add chicken - before adding potato, add 1/2 cup of water and 1 chicken breast, simmer with lid on for 10 minutes, then remove chicken and shred. Add potato and proceed with recipe.
- Add salmon - bake seasoned salmon at 180C/350F for 15 minutes, flake then sprinkle across top of soup.
- Add veggies - saute diced veggies in the bacon fat before proceeding with the recipe. Mmmm…. Creamy Vegetable Corn Chowder!
