Broccoli Chowder with Corn & Bacon

A bowl of warm hearty creamy soup with homemade garlic foccacia


This is a healthy creamy soup without added cream or butter. Bacon is added as garnish and helped to boost up the flavour of this creamy vegetable soup. Omit the bacon and replaced the chicken stock with vegetable stock, it becomes a great vegetarian dish to enjoy!

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup plain flour

  • 400gm sweet corn kernels
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 250ml fresh milk
  • salt & black pepper to taste

Method
  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a deep pot, cook bacon over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8-10mins. Remove bacon.
  2. Increase heat to medium, add onion and fry till soften about 6mins.
