Corn & Potato Chowder with Chorizo Sausage
This is one of my favourite crockpot meals! I found it ages ago on the internet, and can’t remember where it came from – but I changed it anyway, as usual, so here’s my version.
If you want to make the chorizo sausages yourself, see the recipe below (adapted for the Thermomix). I’m going to try turkey instead of the traditional pork, as I’m a bit wary of pork.

Thanks for your sweet words on my blog!! Where in Oz are you?
I live in Malanda on the Atherton Tablelands – it’s in the mountains west of Cairns, Far North Qld. I grew up mostly in Cairns, but was born in Echuca (Vic) and have also lived in Melbourne, Rockhampton and Texas (USA)!
Can this be modified for the thermomix or not really? E.g. Cooking for an hour in the TMX?
Yes, Tania, but you would need to approx. halve it – don’t go above the 2 litre mark. Cook at 100C for maybe 30 mins.
