How to Make Bacon Cheese And Potato Chowder

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups milk and 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup.
  2. Add 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  5. While potatoes simmer, cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
  6. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the chowder until melted and smooth.
  7. Ladle the chowder into 6 bowls.
  8. Top each serving with crumbled bacon, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
