4 Point Potato Chowder

Just in time for everyone’s St. Patrick’s Day feasts, I got this week’s Weight Watchers Newsletter. In it, there was a link to this fantastic Potato Chowder recipe. This is going to be the best 4 points I’ve used in a while I may just have to throw in some cornbread too.

This tasty chowder gets great flavor from Canadian bacon and scallions. We used frozen peppers and potatoes to slash prep time.

Ingredients


	1 spray(s) cooking spray
	16 oz frozen potatoes o’brien
	1 cup(s) green pepper(s), frozen, chopped
	1 cup(s) fat-free evaporated milk, divided
	1/2 tsp table salt
	1/4 tsp black pepper
	3/4 cup(s) fat-free skim milk
	1/4 cup(s) scallion(s), finely chopped (green part only)
	6 oz Canadian-style bacon, diced

Instructions

Coat a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add potatoes and green pepper and cook, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes; add 1/2 cup of evaporated milk.
Remove half of potato mixture to a bowl. Puree remaining potato mixture in saucepan using an immersion blender; stir reserved potato mixture back into saucepan (or puree half of mixture in a blender and then stir back into saucepan). Add remaining 1/2 cup of evaporated milk, salt, black pepper, skim milk, scallion and bacon; stir well. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through and to allow flavors to blend. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Have a great week, ya’all!
