Bacon and Potato Chowder

Bacon and Potato Chowder

Hubby loves anything cooked with bacon.

Recipe adapted from here.

Ingredients:
(Serves 2) 

4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
1 cup Russet potatoes, chopped into chunks
1 cup carrots, chopped into chunks
1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped into chunks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 chicken broth cube, dissolves in 1 & 3/4 cups hot water
1 cup full-cream milk
Salt and pepper to taste 


How to: 

1. Cook bacon in a pan over medium heat until crisp. Add onions.

2. Continue cooking for a few minutes. Stir in carrots, potatoes, and flour.

3. Slowly stir in chicken broth. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and starts to thicken.

4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cook 20 for about minutes, stirring occasionally, or until potatoes are tender. Stir in milk.

5. Continue cooking until thoroughly heated (do not boil).

6. Season with salt and pepper.

We have this piping hot chowder served with brown rice for dinner. Such creamy and potato-ey comfort food. Anything with bacon and potatoes will never ever go wrong.

Bacon wins. With potatoes, this dish is a complete winner!
