Method
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the spring onions for 1-2 minutes, or until soft. Add the bacon and fry for 3 minutes, or until cooked.
- Add the potato and stock and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potato is tender. Lightly crush some of the potato against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon (this will help thicken the chowder). Add the sweetcorn and milk and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until piping hot.
- Season the chowder to taste with salt and pepper and serve in warmed bowls.
