In fact, it has been this kind of weather throughout most of the week. Kind of missing the weather in London now, missing the feeling when you step out of the room and feel the cold air kiss the cheek of your face. Oh well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve tried various versions of cream- or milk-based chowder before, including <a href=\"https:\/\/peepor.net\/pint\/blog\/?p=10575\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cauliflower Chowder<\/strong><\/a>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/peepor.net\/pint\/blog\/?p=9057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cabbage &amp; Carrot Chowder<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/peepor.net\/pint\/blog\/?p=1523\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Potato &amp; Leek Soup<\/strong><\/a>. I can&#8217;t say if I have a favourite among all these recipes, because they are all very flavourful and could all make for a wholesome meal alone by itself. The taste of this chowder is slightly similar to the Cauliflower Chowder and the Potato &amp; Leek Soup, though compared to the latter, this version here is much thicker and creamier as it uses more cream and potatoes. They all serve a purpose at different occasions and beats the mood in different ways.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Butter: 50g<\/li>\n<li>White onion: 1, finely chopped<\/li>\n<li>Plain flour: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Chicken stock cube: 1\/2<\/li>\n<li>Water: 500ml<\/li>\n<li>Creamed corn: half of a 310g can<\/li>\n<li>Floury potato: 2 (about 350g), cubed<\/li>\n<li>Bacon: 50g, chopped<\/li>\n<li>Cooking cream: 60ml<\/li>\n<li>Crusted bread: 1 loaf, sliced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Heat butter in pot.<\/li>\n<li>Add onions.
