As often as possible I don't peel potatoes when I prepare them, & I didn't here, but rather diced them small so the pieces of peel weren't very large! Went on from there, & mashed probably 3/4 of the chowder a much as possible, then put it all together for a nice, chunky chowder! Absolutely wonderful in the taste department, & something I'll be making again, for sure! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag] -
Just made this and the whole family loved it!! The only problem is that I didn't double it. We ate it all in a sitting (2 adults, 2 teen girls). I added a bunch of pepper to mine, and broke up saltines on top of the soup. Yum. I used a very large sweet potato and 4 oz of corn. I'll use a little less corn next time. I used a blender because I don't have a working hand blender. If I double it, it won't fit...I'll think about that next time :)
