Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Serves: 6
Ingredients
250 g bacon, chopped
400 g boerewors, removed from the casing and crumbled
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp butter
2–3 tsp BlixSam Brêckie Spice
700 g potatoes, peeled and diced
1 litre chicken stock
1 cup sweetcorn
250 ml fresh cream
1 cup mature cheddar cheese, grated
4 hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Spring onions, sliced
Extra grated cheddar, for serving
Method
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the bacon and fry until golden and crispy. Remove about one-third of the bacon and set aside for garnishing.
Add the crumbled boerewors to the same pot and cook until browned and slightly caramelised.
Add the butter and onion and cook until the onion is soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the BlixSam Brêckie Spice and stir it through the buttery bacon and boerewors juices. Allow the spice to bloom for about 30 seconds to release its full flavour.
Add the diced potatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover partially and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Using a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, lightly mash some of the potatoes directly in the pot. Leave plenty of chunky potato pieces. This naturally thickens the chowder while keeping it hearty.
Stir in the sweetcorn and fresh cream. Simmer gently for another 5 minutes.
Add the grated mature cheddar and stir until completely melted, creating a rich and creamy chowder. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs just before serving, being careful not to break them up too much.
Spoon the hot chowder into bowls and finish with the reserved crispy bacon, sliced spring onions, extra grated cheddar and a little freshly ground black pepper.
🍳 Why It Works
This isn’t just another creamy potato soup.
Boerewors + bacon + egg + Brêckie Spice bring classic South African breakfast flavours together in one hearty bowl. The potatoes naturally thicken the chowder, while cream and mature cheddar make it deliciously rich and comforting.
