Cooking Steps

Cook bacon
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high (use same for 4 servings). When hot, add bacon. Cook for 5-7 min, stirring occasionally, until crispy.** (TIP: If bacon begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium.)
  • Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve fat in pot.
Prep
2
  • While bacon cooks, on a clean cutting board, remove any brown spots from potatoes, then peel and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. (Note: If you don't mind potato skins, don't peel them!)
  • Thinly slice green onion.
Start chowder
3
  • Reheat the same pot over medium. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chorizo. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, breaking up chorizo and stirring often until chorizo is cooked through.** 
  • Add mirepoix, corn and potato. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp.
Finish chowder
4
  • Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend and half the Mexican Seasoning (use all for 4 servings). Stir to coat.
  • Add vegetable stock powder, cream and 2 cups (3 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer over high, then reduce heat to medium.
  • Cook for 6-9 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender. (TIP: If liquid reduces too quickly before veggies are tender, add water, 2 tbsp at a time.)
Finish and serve
5
  • Season chowder with salt and pepper.
  • Divide between bowls.
  • Dollop sour cream over top.
  • Sprinkle bacon, feta and green onions over top.
