Ingredients
  

  • 3 rashers streaky bacon chopped
  • oil
  • 1 small onion (approx. 70g), finely chopped
  • 1 large potato (approx. 225g), peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 350ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 400ml semi skimmed milk
  • 200g frozen or tinned sweetcorn drained if tinned
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Fry the bacon in a little oil in a medium to large saucepan – as soon as it starts to colour (around 3 to 5 minutes), add the onion and potato and cook for 5 minutes, until the onion starts to soften. Add the stock and milk and bring to a simmer.
  • Cook for 5 minutes or until the potato is tender, then add the sweetcorn and heat through. Season and stir in the chives, to serve.

Notes

  • This bacon and sweetcorn chowder recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for more people – I doubled it to make it for 4.
