Mashed Potato and Corn Chowder image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 1 cup, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups mashed potatoes
2 cans low sodium kernel corn, undrained
5 slices bacon, diced
14 ounces low sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk (I use 1%, because that what we drink)
1/4 cup frozen southern seasoning (A blend of onions, bell pepper, celery & thyme)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
fresh black pepper, to taste

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.
