Cooking Steps

Boil potatoes and make mash
1
  • Once the water is almost at a boil, remove any brown spots from potatoes. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. 
  • To the pot, add potatoes, cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered for 10-12 min, until fork-tender.
  • Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Roughly mash potatoes. (NOTE: You want some chunks to give the chowder texture!) Season with salt and pepper.
Cook bacon
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium.
  • When hot, add bacon. (NOTE: For 4 servings, cook bacon in batches.) Cook for 6-9 min, flipping occasionally, until crispy.** Remove the pot from heat.
  • Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  • Discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) bacon fat.
Start chowder
3
  • Reheat the pot with residual bacon fat over medium.
  • When hot, add leek. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender.
  • Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend and stock powder over top. Cook for 30 sec, until fragrant.
  • Add 2 cups (3 cups) water, then bring to a simmer. (TIP: Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan; this will add loads of extra flavour!)
Simmer chowder
4
  • Once simmering, add peas, half the cheese, half the bacon and mashed potatoes to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until chowder thickens slightly and peas are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat, then stir in cream.
Finish and serve
5
  • Divide chowder between bowls.
  • Top with sour cream.
  • Sprinkle chowder with remaining cheese, then crumble with remaining bacon for garnish.
  • Use a pair of kitchen shears or scissors to snip chives over top.
