Steps:
- For the potatoes: Place the potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the butter, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Place the potatoes back into the saucepan. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the half-and-half. Using a hand masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the zest, chives, parsley, thyme, the remaining1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
- For the shrimp: In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and set aside. When cool enough to handle, chop the shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir the shrimp and any pan juices into the potatoes.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan. Fry the onion until it softens but don't allow it to brown. Add the potato, milk and stock, and bring everything to a simmer. Cook for 10 mins or until the potato is soft, then gently squash some of the potato against the side of the pan to thicken the chowder. Add the prawns and sweetcorn, and cook for another 5 mins.
- Meanwhile, spread the pitta with the garlic butter. Grill the pitta until it browns a little, then cut into strips. Serve the soup sprinkled with chives, if you like, with the garlic pitta on the side to dip.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large wide pot or medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until toasted, about 30 seconds. Scatter the flour over the onion and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to make a paste, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the broth and milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Add the potatoes and season with salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Stir the shrimp into the soup and cook until just opaque and firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Adjust the consistency of the soup with a little water if it?s become too thick and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
MASHED POTATO AND CORN CHOWDER
A very easy recipe for a creamy chowder using left over, frozen or pre-made mashed potatoes. For a thicker chowder add some instant mashed potatoes, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached. I use 1 package Simply Potatoes "Traditional" mashed potatoes For a Seafood Chowder add: 1 lb medium shrimp, Bay Scallops or a combination of both.

Steps:
- In a large pot, over medium heat, whisk potatoes with chicken broth and milk.
- Saute bacon, until just cooked. Not crispy! Then add with remaining ingredients, to potato mixture. Except seafood, if you're going to use it.
- Heat until bubbly.
- If adding seafood, put it in, 10 mins before the chowder is finished. That should allow enough time for the shrimp or scallops to cook, without over cooking.
