Ingredients

3 Essential Sweetcorn Cobs
25g Essential Butter
1 large fennel, chopped
1 Essential Onion, chopped
400g Essential Potatoes, cut into small dice
2 vegetable stock cubes
4 tsp Cooks' Ingredients 3 Chilli Paste
150ml pot Essential Single Cream
1/2 x 25g pack coriander, chopped
100g wholegrain or white bread, torn into small pieces

Method

Cook the cobs in a large pan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove to a plate, reserving the cooking water. Melt ½ the butter in a separate saucepan and gently fry the fennel and onion for 5 minutes to soften. Add the potatoes, crumbled stock cubes and 800ml of the sweetcorn cooking liquid. Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes.
Cut the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife. Add them to the chowder, along with the chilli paste, 100ml cream and most of the coriander, reserving a little for serving. Cook gently for 10 minutes.
Melt the remaining butter in a small frying pan and fry the bread over a low heat until lightly browned, turning frequently. Ladle the chowder into bowls and serve topped with the croutons, reserved coriander and a drizzle of leftover cream.
