Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Remove any brown spots from potatoes. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- To a medium pot, add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) (use same for 4 servings). 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 reserved bacon fat over medium.
- When hot, add leeks. 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!)
- 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 sauce base.
- Divide chowder between bowls.
- Top with sour cream.
- Sprinkle chowder with remaining cheese, then crumble remaining bacon over top.
- Use scissors to snip chives over top.
