Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, celery, carrots, jalapeño, and potato into small, uniform pieces. Dice the bacon into small strips.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large pot over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, celery, carrots, jalapeño, and potato. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 5

    Add Seasonings

    Stir in the milk, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Allow the chowder to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 6

    Combine with Bacon

    Add the cooked bacon back into the pot and stir well. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving
