Makes 41 servings


Substituted smoked beef sausage and pepperoni for 2 slices bacon.

Ingredients
134 g pepperoni
70 g smoked beef sausage
3 c skim milk
2 tsp black pepper, ground
1 tsp Accent (MSG)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp thyme, dried
3 T all-purpose flour
1 T cornstarch
2 T olive oil
12 oz parsnips
8 oz onions
10 oz leeks
12 oz carrots
3 c water
30 g (3tsp) chicken stock concentrate ("Better-Than Bouillon"
10 cloves garlic
1100 g potatoes
Directions
  1. Cook meat, diced, in large pot over medium heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels.

  2. Add oil to drippings in same pot; heat over medium heat.

  3. Add leeks; saute until tender but not brown, about 7 minutes.

  4. Add parsnips, carrots, garlic, and thyme; saute 5 min.

  5. Stir in potatoes, then flour and cornstarch, stir 1 min to coat.

  6. Gradually add milk and 3 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered until vegetables are tender and soup thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.

  7. Note: actually added 4 cups broth, but accounted for 3 to account for boil-off.

  8. Season with salt and pepper.

  9. Can be made 1 day ahead: cover and chill bacon. Cool chowder slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm before continuing, thinning with more broth, if desired.

  10. Stir bacon into chowder just before serving. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley, serve.

  11. Makes 6-8 main course servings.
