Cooking Steps

Cook chorizo
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high. 
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chorizo. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 min, breaking up chorizo and stirring often until chorizo is browned (chorizo will finish cooking in step 3).**
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, 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
  • Heat the pot with the chorizo over medium.
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then mirepoix, corn and potato. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp and chorizo is cooked through.**
Finish chowder

  • 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

  • Season chowder with salt and pepper.
