Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop brown onion and garlic. Drain sweetcorn. Roughly tear kale leaves (see ingredients), then discard stem. Cut potato and carrot into small chunks. Thinly slice spring onion. • Place potato and carrot on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon and onion, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Add corn, cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
• Add garlic and Nan's special seasoning cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and flour, stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until slightly thickened, 5-6 minutes.
• Cut or tear the bake-at-home ciabatta (see ingredients) into bite-sized chunks. • Place ciabatta chunks on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. • Bake until golden, 5-7 minutes.
• When the soup is ready, remove from heat, then stir through roasted veggies, kale and light cooking cream.
• Divide bacon and corn chowder between bowls. • Top with cheesy croutons and spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
