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

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your chowder more flavor and texture. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and corn.

  • Use a good quality cheese: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are good options.
  • Add some herbs and spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the chowder. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Cheesy vegetable chowder is a hearty and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious pot of chowder that the whole family will enjoy.
