Chowders

As a base:

  • 3 cups water

  • 1 grated onion

  • 1 grated carrot

  • 1 grated potato

White sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon flour

  • 1 cup milk

Chowder flavouring

  • Cooked fish bits, corn, ham, or chicken - whatever your preference

  • seasoning

Method

Mix the base ingredients and season to taste, boil for 8 minutes.

No instructions for the white sauce aka a roux, but if you’ve made it once before, you’ll know it’s pretty easy. Melt butter in a separate saucepan then stir in flour. Add the milk and continue stirring to incorporate the butter & flour mixture.

Add the white sauce to the base mixture. Then add anything you like, e.g. cooked fish bits, corn, ham, or chicken. Add herbs and seasoning to get your desired taste.
