1. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leeks over a low heat for 3 mins until softened. Stir in the potatoes and flour, then slowly blend in the milk, stirring with a wooden spoon. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 mins until the potatoes are soft.
2. Add the chicken, ham, sweetcorn and peas, then stir over a medium heat for 5 mins or until hot and bubbling. Season to taste and serve with crusty bread.

'I love chowder, so this had instant appeal. I was surprised that it was low fat, as it was incredibly rich and creamy. This recipe is deliciously satisfying - great comfort food.'

  Simple to make and so tasty. Did add a little pepper, next time might add a little whole grain mustard, for a bit of a zing.

  It was nice, but next time I'm going to add something to give it more taste, also I'd serve it with some crusty bread. Other than that it was great.

  I added chicken stock and some curry for more taste. It was delicious and it was ready in a few minutes. Great as a midweek supper

  Delicious - simple, tasty - even nicer if you add a bay leaf and some cloves whilst cooking.

  Very easy to make and quite tasty, really filling too! I added a little more milk as I used large potatoes, and used some leftover smoked gammon instead of ham....made it a bit more flavoursome!

  Tried this last night with the kids (who can be a little picky!) and a great thumbs up was given all round. As with previous reviews, might try a bay leaf or similar to make it a little more perky but it was great all the same.

  Tasty indeed - added carrots instead of peas as did not have any and paprika to give it a little more taste. Used fresh chicken breast that I floured and pan fried quickly before putting them in the soup - the eat was moist and tender.

  Great low fat recipe and the family loved it. I serve it with some garlic bread. I added some thyme and other herbs. I personally add some tobasco in my bowl to add a kick to it.

  I thought this was delicious and easy to make. Added thyme as suggested and had to use spring onions. Tasty and filling.
