Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Remove any brown spots from potato, then cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice chives.
Sauté mirepoix and make garlic butter
2
  • Heat a large pot over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then mirepoix. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  • Meanwhile, to a small bowl, add half the garlic, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) chives and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) softened butter. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Start chowder
3
  • To the pot, add beef and remaining garlic. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add potatoes, Cream Sauce Spice Blend, stock powder and 2 tsp (4 tsp) Old Bay Seasoning. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until mixture is coated.
  • Add 3 cups (5 1/2 cups) water, then bring to a boil over high.
Finish soup
4
  • When boiling, add corn, then reduce heat to medium. Partially cover and cook for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add cream cheese and 1/2 cup (1 cup) liquid from chowder. Whisk until smooth.
  • When chowder is done, stir in cream cheese mixture. Season with remaining Old Bay Seasoning or salt and pepper, if you like.
Toast ciabatta
5
  • While chowder cooks, halve ciabatta.
  • Arrange on an unlined baking sheet, cut-side up.
  • Spread garlic-chive butter on the cut sides.
  • Broil in the top of the oven for 1-2 min, until golden. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn.)
Finish and serve
6
  • Halve ciabatta diagonally.
  • Divide beef corn chowder between bowls. Sprinkle remaining chives over top.
  • Serve ciabatta points alongside for dipping.
