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.
Corn & Potato Chowder with Chorizo Sausages
Ingredients
one batch dairy dairy-free white sauce
2 Tbsp chicken stock concentrate
1 cup corn, cooked and pureed
2 cups chicken or veggie stock (or more if you want it soupier)
5 potatoes, cubed
2 carrots, sliced
500g frozen corn
Spanish chorizo sausages, sliced (however much you like)
1 bag baby spinach leaves (or a couple of cups)
fine sea salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare your white sauce.
2. Add white sauce, stock concentrate, pureed corn, stock, potatoes, carrots, frozen corn, sliced chorizo sausages and baby spinach to a crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or high for about 4 hours.
Storage
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

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.
