Why this works
A creamy vegetable chowder that provides some fibre and micronutrients, but it is moderately rich in saturated fat and sodium.
Vitamin C and antioxidants. Green pepper contributes vitamin C and plant antioxidants, supporting immune function and overall cell health.
Potassium and fibre. Potatoes and sweetcorn add fibre plus potassium, which supports normal muscle and nerve function.
Saturated fat and sodium to watch. Double cream, butter and stock can push up saturated fat and salt, so this is best enjoyed as an occasional comfort dish.
Method
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan and soften the onion if using.
- Add the diced green pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the plain flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the stock gradually, stirring well to prevent lumps.
- Add diced potatoes and simmer until tender.
- Stir in the sweetcorn and milk, then heat gently without boiling.
- Season with salt and black pepper, and add a small splash of brown sauce if you want a savoury depth.
- Serve hot with crusty bread if desired.
