Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, water, salt, and pepper; bring the mixture to a vigorous boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Avoid draining the vegetables; instead, keep the mixture as is.
- In a separate small pan, prepare a white sauce by heating the butter over medium heat.
- Gradually add the flour to the melted butter, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to stir, and cook until the sauce thickens.
- Carefully ladle some of the hot vegetable mixture into the small pan with the white sauce, then transfer everything back into the larger pot.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and, if desired, crumbled bacon, mixing until the cheese is fully melted and the chowder is creamy and luscious.
Serve this delightful chowder hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired, and enjoy a warm bowl of comfort from lovewithrecipes.com!
