Cooking Steps
- Once the water is almost at a boil, remove any brown spots from potatoes. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes to the pot, 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.
- 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.
- 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!)
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once simmering, add shrimp, 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.
- 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.
If you opted to add jumbo shrimp, using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to the pot with peas, half the cheese, half the bacon and mashed potatoes. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until chowder thickens slightly and shrimp are cooked through.** Proceed with remaining instructions as written.
