I used to make a creamy chicken, potato and bacon chowder.

Fry package of streaky bacon to crisp but not burned. Set aside.

Boiled whole chicken with celery, onion, stock and Kroger's Zesty Blend seasoning. Pick the meat off and set aside.

Put skin and bones under the broiler to carmelise. Then tip back into the broth and boil the flavour out.

Strain broth. Add loads of cubed potatoes to strained broth cook until nearly done. Spoon out some of potatoes. Mash and add to thicken the broth. Tip back in with picked chicken meat and single cream or whole milk and half of the bacon crumbled up.

Simmer until cubed potatoes are done.

Serve with shredded cheddar and rest of crumbled bacon as garnish.
