PRAWN CHOWDER WITH MASHED POTATO

Steps:

• Tip the corn into a food processor and blend to a purée. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain, mash with the milk and season to taste. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan, add most of the spring onions and fry for 2 mins until softened. Add the corn, tomato purée, paprika and stock. Bring to the boil, simmer for 5 mins, then stir in the prawns.
• Grill the bacon until crisp. Divide the soup between 4 bowls and spoon the mash into the centre of each. Break up the bacon and scatter over the top with the remaining spring onions.

MASHED POTATO AND CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a large pot, over medium heat, whisk potatoes with chicken broth and milk.
• Saute bacon, until just cooked. Not crispy! Then add with remaining ingredients, to potato mixture. Except seafood, if you're going to use it.
• Heat until bubbly.
• If adding seafood, put it in, 10 mins before the chowder is finished. That should allow enough time for the shrimp or scallops to cook, without over cooking.

SHRIMP AND POTATO CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large wide pot or medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until toasted, about 30 seconds. Scatter the flour over the onion and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to make a paste, about 1 minute.
• Pour in the broth and milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Add the potatoes and season with salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Stir the shrimp into the soup and cook until just opaque and firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Adjust the consistency of the soup with a little water if it?s become too thick and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
