Potato Corn Chowder

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 14:00:00 +0000

This Potato Corn Chowder bursts with the comforting flavors of tender potatoes and sweet corn in a creamy base. It is easy and quick to prepare and a perfect dish for a cold evening or a cozy meal.

This chowder begins with cooking the bacon until crispy. Then it’s time for sautéing onions, garlic, and celery, creating a savory base for the dish. Add diced potatoes, which bring a satisfying, starchy texture that thickens the soup as it cooks. The star ingredient, corn, brings a natural sweetness that beautifully contrasts with the creamy, velvety broth.

This potato corn chowder recipe is versatile, letting you adjust it to suit your tastes, whether you prefer a lighter broth or a thicker, creamier consistency. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers, and enjoy this satisfying soup as a delicious way to savor the simple yet comforting flavors of potatoes and corn.

How to make this easy potato corn chowder

To start, cook diced bacon in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until it’s browned and crispy. Once the bacon is crispy, transfer it to a bowl and set it aside. Leave the rendered fat in the pot for added flavor.

Next, add diced onion and celery to the pot, cooking until softened, which should take about five minutes. This builds a savory base for your chowder. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Now it’s time to add your broth—vegetable or chicken—along with diced potatoes, corn kernels, dried thyme, salt and pepper. If you’re using fresh corn, don’t forget to toss in the cobs for that extra burst of flavor! Cover the pot, bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender, checking occasionally to stir. If you want a creamier chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot as they cook!

After 15 minutes, carefully remove the corn cobs. Now it’s time to add the cream. Gently heat the soup without bringing it to a boil, as boiling can cause the cream to separate. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt or pepper if needed. Remember, the flavors will deepen as they meld together!

Finally, ladle the chowder into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs and those crispy bacon bits for an extra touch of flavor.

Hope you will try it out and enjoy this warm and hearty dish. It is perfect for chilly days or any time you need a little comfort food.

If you do, share the photos with me on Instagram, would love to see how it turns out for you.

Chicken Apple Skillet

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 08:13:42 +0000

This Chicken Apple Skillet is a flavorful, hearty dish that combines seasoned chicken with the sweet, tangy notes of apples. To prepare, sear boneless chicken breasts or thighs until golden brown, locking in their natural juices. Next, add thinly sliced apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp, which bring a sweet balance to the savory chicken. A sprinkle of herbs like thyme or rosemary enhances the aroma and adds an earthy note to the dish.

Deglaze the skillet with chicken or vegetable stock and add garlic, honey and apple cider vinegar to create a light, flavorful sauce that ties the ingredients together. As the dish simmers, the sweet and savory flavors meld into a delicious harmony, with the apples softening just enough to complement the tender chicken.

Serve this chicken apple skillet over mashed potatoes, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables for a comforting, satisfying meal. With its simple preparation and perfectly balanced flavors, this dish makes an excellent choice for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special autumn meal.

How to make Chicken Apple Skillet

To start, cut your chicken breast into even ¾ inch or 2 cm strips, ensuring uniform size so they cook evenly.

Next, season the chicken generously with salt and pepper on both sides and sprinkle with dried thyme or rosemary.

Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the pan is hot before adding the chicken. Place the seasoned chicken strips in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, so the chicken sears properly. Cook the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, allowing it to develop a golden brown crust while locking in the juices. You’ll know the chicken is ready to flip when it easily releases from the pan. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate.

How to prepare the apples and the sauce

In the same skillet, add your apple slices, making sure they’re spread out in an even layer to ensure proper caramelization. Cook the apples for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, turning them carefully once they soften and begin to brown.

I’ve used Gala apples for their natural sweetness and firm texture, but Honeycrisp apples or Granny Smith apples will be as good. Feel free to choose the variety that best suits your taste.

Next, stir in finely minced garlic and pour in your chicken or vegetable stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits that have stuck to the bottom. Add honey, butter and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, allowing all the flavors to meld together. As it cooks, the sauce will reduce slightly, filling the kitchen with a delightful sweet and savory aroma.

Once the sauce is ready, return the chicken to the skillet, making sure each piece is tossed and coated in the flavorful mixture. Allow the chicken to warm through and absorb some of the sauce, creating a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.

For a final touch, garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme. Serve your chicken apple skillet alongside creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that delicious sauce.

And there you have it, a simple yet flavorful Chicken Apple Skillet, perfect for any occasion. Hope you will try it out and enjoy it as much as we did. If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.

Easy Meatball Soup

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 17:17:18 +0000

Savor the hearty goodness of our flavorful Meatball Soup. Made with tender meatballs and fresh vegetables, it’s a comforting dish perfect for chilly days or whenever you crave a comforting meal. This soup holds a special place in our family’s culinary traditions and is a cherished dish in many European countries.

Picture succulent meatballs, made from your choice of meat, either chicken, turkey, pork, or beef, gently simmered in a rich, aromatic broth alongside tender chunks of potatoes and an array of vibrant vegetables.

Each spoonful is a blend of savory flavors, enhanced by hints of herbs and spices. We love to use fresh lovage for this soup for its incredible flavor, although fresh parsley or celery leaves can serve as suitable alternatives.

What truly sets our meatball soup apart is its creamy richness, achieved by adding sour cream mixed with egg yolk just before finishing the soup, making every bite extra satisfying. Served hot with crusty bread, it’s a meal that fills you up and feels like a warm hug.

Whether it’s a cozy night in or a quick lunch, our meatball soup is a tasty choice that everyone will love. So, grab a bowl and enjoy the comforting taste of homemade goodness.

How to make meatball soup

Begin by heating oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it becomes softened. Stir in the carrots and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then, add the celery root, garlic, and red pepper, and cook for another minute.

Pour in the vegetable stock or water, adding chili pepper if desired, along with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the vegetables to cook for roughly 20 minutes until they reach a tender consistency.

While the soup is simmering, prepare the meatballs. In a medium bowl, combine the ground meat, semolina flour, egg, uncooked rice, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. Shape the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls using a cookie scoop and wet hands, then place them on a plate.

Carefully transfer the meatballs to the simmering soup along with the potatoes. Allow the soup to return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the meatballs are fully cooked.

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, egg yolk, and minced garlic. Add 2 ladles of hot soup to the mixture, stirring well, then return it to the pot. Let it boil for 1 minute before finishing with fresh herbs such as lovage or parsley, as well as salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the soup from heat and serve it hot alongside crusty bread.

Hope you will give this soup a try as I am sure everybody will be delighted. If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy your comforting meal!

Toasted Orzo with Chicken

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Sat, 03 Feb 2024 13:10:21 +0000

This Toasted Orzo with Chicken is a mouthwatering dish you can easily prepare for lunch or dinner. It brings together the nutty goodness of toasted orzo pasta with perfectly seasoned, tender chicken pieces, making a dish that’s both comforting and full of flavor.

First, we toast the orzo to perfection, giving it a delightful crunch that goes well with the tender chicken. Then, wee cook the chicken until it’s juicy and tasty. The orzo is then simmered together with a blend of aromatic herbs and vegetables, adding a burst of savory goodness.

Whether it’s a cozy dinner or a special gathering, our Toasted Orzo with Chicken is a simple yet elevated meal that everybody will love.

What is orzo

Orzo is a type of pasta that is shaped like small rice grains. Despite its rice-like appearance, orzo is made from wheat semolina or white flour, similar to traditional pasta. It is commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines and can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and salads to main courses.

How to cook orzo

Cooking orzo is simple and similar to cooking other types of pasta. Boil a pot of salted water, toss in the orzo, and stir to avoid sticking. Let it cook for around 8-10 minutes until it’s tender. Taste to check if it’s done, then drain the orzo in a colander. If you want it to cool quickly or plan to use it in a salad, give it a rinse under cold water. Your orzo is ready to shine in various dishes, hot or cold, your choice.

If you want to use toasted orzo in your recipes, first heat a bit of olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the orzo. Toast it for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown. This step enhances the nutty flavor of the orzo. From here add the water or vegetable stock and continue cooking until tender.

How to make this Toasted Orzo with Chicken

Begin by cutting the chicken into long strips. Season both sides with salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Set aside.

Next, toast the orzo by heating olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the orzo pasta, stirring constantly, and toast for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown. Transfer the toasted orzo to a bowl and set aside.

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the seasoned chicken in the pan and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side until it achieves a golden brown color. Ensure the chicken is cooked through, then transfer it to a plate.

Add chopped onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until it softens. Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Toss in red pepper and cook for an extra minute.

Stir in tomato puree, dry oregano, basil and chili flakes if used, cooking for 2 more minutes while stirring constantly. Add the toasted orzo and pour in vegetable or chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the orzo to become tender and the liquid to be almost absorbed. Arrange the cooked chicken on top of the orzo and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, then savor this delightful dish alongside a fresh salad.

The sausage brings a zesty kick, while the potatoes add a comforting texture, creating a perfect balance of flavors. The bacon adds a smoky crunch, enhancing the overall taste of the soup.

Begin by cooking the bacon in your soup pot until it’s not yet crispy and browned. Toss in the Italian sausage, letting both meats cook for 10-15 minutes until they turn crispy and brown. As they sizzle away, crumble the meat in the pot. Before moving forward, drain some of the excess oils.

Next up, throw in the onion and garlic, allowing them to cook with the meats for an additional 5 minutes. Stir occasionally for a flavorful mix. Now, introduce the potatoes, red chili pepper, basil, and oregano, giving it all a quick stir.

Pour in the vegetable stock, adding salt and pepper to the mix. Stir it up and let it all come to a boil. Once bubbling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the potatoes reach that perfect tenderness.

Stir in the cream and kale. Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the kale is tender and the flavors meld. Now, your soup is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it up with Parmesan and cheese toasts, and relish in the delightful warmth and flavors.
