Cold winter days call for warm hearty soups!
My husband only considers soup a main dish when it is loaded and this one fits the bill perfectly.
All the goodness of a bacon cheeseburger in a delicious chowder – soup will never be the same.

It has been a very long time since I've had a chowder. This looks delicious though, anything with bacon gets a yes from me xD Happy new year!

I'm going to attempt this with "real" cheese, as i don't have any velveeta on hand. I also don't have beef bouillon granules on hand, so i might try chick bouillon cubes or beef stock. Do you think those changes will ruin the chowder?

I made this Chowder last night for my family. I didnt have bullion, so I subbed the water for beef broth and added some Worcestershire. I also used whole milk in place of the almond. This chowder was so darn good! Had the left overs today with a Ham & Cheese Panini. This recipe will certainly be on a regular rotation at my house!

I don't buy almond milk. Can 2% be used instead?

What makes a soup chowder and what does that mean exactly? I am making this for the first time.
-
This recipe is delicious! I think next time I’ll make it in the instant pot, this tome I made it in my Dutch oven. I quartered my red potatoes, that made them more manageable. I’ll definitely be making this again! Perfect Fall recipe.

A chowder is thicker, than a soup. It is usually thicker because of a thickened base using flour or adding an ingredient like rice that thickens the soup base as it cooked. There is a satisfying thickness to it rather than a watery broth base. It is more hearty. Both soups and chowders are satisfying, just in different ways.

How do you make in an IP?

I made this recipe with whole milk, and it was a huge hit. It was easy to make and very delicious.

what about the bacon ? Cook along with the beef, add along with beef to soup?
