6 servings

  • 12 slices bacon, diced
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 4 large jalapeno peppers - halved, seeded, and thinly sliced
  • 8 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 cup skim milk, or more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
  • 4 stalks green onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Place diced bacon in a skillet and over medium-high heat and cook until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat in a large stockpot. Add yellow onion and jalapeno peppers; cook and stir until slightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add potatoes, chicken broth, 1 cup milk, salt, rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; bring to a boil. Boil until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cream cheese, heavy cream, and bacon; stir until cream cheese has melted.
  • Add Cheddar, a little at a time, stirring to incorporate after each addition. If the chowder is too thick, you can add more milk to reach the desired consistency.
  • Stir in most of the green onion and parsley until slightly wilted. Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining green onion and parsley.
