A thick and creamy potato corn chowder is sure to warm the soul on these cooler days.
Ingredients
- 4 medium washed potatoes, diced

- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 3 cups chicken broth

Method
- Cook bacon in a large pot over a medium-high heat until browned.
- Add onion and celery into the pot, stirring occasionally until the onion starts to brown.
- Add in the garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and cook for around 1 minute.
- Stir through the broth, then add in the potatoes and corn. Stir and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium.
- Cover the pot and cook for 15 – 20 mins or until the potatoes are tender. Then reduce heat to low.
