    Super tasty, easy to make and very cheap. I love the smoky and salty combination, and I used a whole packet of bacon to fill it out. This is not dinner party standard, but a wonderful midweek meal. My hubby is not a soup fan, but I can see him asking for this again

    I used this simple recipe as a base for my chowder. I just added a few prawns and a bit of sustainable cod chopped up and it was fantastic! I also used bay leaves and a little bit of corn flour to thicken! Wish i had some parsley to put in it too! I agree with Tamara -- eating the next day lets all flavours infuse. A great mid week supper.
