Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Cook the bacon over medium heat. Slow cooking helps render the fat and makes the bacon crisp.
- Set aside the bacon grease; it adds a smoky flavor to the chowder.
- Use only Yukon potatoes, as they add a creamy texture.
- Do not blend hot soup; let it cool down completely to avoid pressure buildup from steam.
- Stir the cheddar cheese lightly in warm soup to prevent it from clumping.
