4. Sprinkle over the flour and stir for 1 minute.
5. Gradually pour in the Chicken Bone Broth and water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

7. Cover and cook for approximately 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
8. Stir in the sweetcorn, milk and shredded cooked chicken.
9. Simmer gently for another 4–5 minutes until the sweetcorn is tender and the chicken is thoroughly reheated and piping hot throughout.
10. Stir through the cooking cream and gently heat for 2 minutes without boiling vigorously.
11. For a naturally thicker chowder, gently mash a few potato pieces against the side of the saucepan and stir them back into the soup.
12. Season with black pepper and add a splash of water if the chowder is thicker than you prefer.
13. Ladle into bowls and finish with freshly chopped chives or parsley.
14. Serve warm with crusty bread.
A Little Bone Broth Tip
Our Free Range Chicken Bone Broth is a delicious base for creamy homemade chowders. It adds slow-cooked savoury flavour to the potatoes, chicken and sweetcorn, making a simple combination of ingredients taste beautifully rich.
For an extra-quick version, use leftover roast chicken that's been cooled and refrigerated safely. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
