Preparation
1
Cook bacon

  • Cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat (use same for 4 ppl). When hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.** (TIP: If bacon begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium.)
  • Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve fat in pot.

2
Prep

  • While bacon cooks, on a clean cutting board, peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice green onion.
  • Husk, then halve cobs crosswise. Place cut-side of cobs down on the cutting board. Moving the knife along the cob in a downward motion, shave corn kernels off.

3
Start chowder

  • Reheat the same pot over medium heat.
  • When hot, add mirepoix, corn and sweet potato. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp, 4-5 min.

4
Finish chowder

  • Add cream sauce spice blend and half the Mexican seasoning (use all for 4 ppl). Stir to coat.
  • Add vegetable stock powder, cream and 2 cups (3 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer over high, then reduce heat to medium.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 6-9 min. (TIP: If liquid reduces too quickly before veggies are tender, add water, 2 tbsp at a time).

5
Finish and serve

  • Season stew with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide stew between bowls.
  • Dollop sour cream over top.
  • Sprinkle bacon, feta and green onions over top.
