Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop brown onion and garlic. Slice kernels off corn cob. Roughly tear kale leaves (see ingredients), then discard stem. Cut potato and carrot into small chunks. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Place potato and carrot on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic and herb seasoning and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!
• Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return saucepan to medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, sweetcorn and onion, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes. • Return chicken to the pan.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and vegetable stock pot. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until slightly thickened, 10-12 minutes.
• Cut or tear bake-at-home ciabatta (see ingredients) into bite-sized chunks. • Place ciabatta chunks on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. • Bake until golden, 5-7 minutes.
Little cooks: Lend a hand by tearing the ciabatta and tossing it with the olive oil and seasonings!
• When the soup is ready, remove from heat, then stir through roasted veggies, kale and light cooking cream.
• Divide bacon and veggie chowder between bowls. • Top with cheesy croutons to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by topping the chowder with the cheesy croutons!
