Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced or grated or 1 ½ teaspoons crushed garlic
  • 1 leek, white and green parts finely sliced and thoroughly washed
  • 2 large carrots, cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
  • 750ml (3 cups) water
  • 875ml (3 ½ cups) milk
  • 600g potatoes, cut into 2cm chunks
  • 410g can creamed corn
  • 425g can tuna in spring water, drained and flaked
  • 225g (1 ½ cups) frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons cornflour mixed with ¼ cup water

Method

  1. Heat oil in a large pot on the stove over medium high heat. Add onions and sauté for around 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and stir fry for a minute or until fragrant. Add leek and carrots and cook for around 5 minutes or until the leek has softened.
  2. Carefully pour water and milk and mix. Turn heat to high, add potatoes and creamed corn, stir and cover with a lid.
  3. Bring to a boil while stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn’t catch at the bottom of the pot, reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the carrots and potatoes are cooked, continuing to stir occasionally.
  4. Stir through tuna, and frozen peas to heat through. Bring to a simmer, add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add cornflour and water mix into the pot while stirring, continue stirring until the chowder has thickened.
