Corn Chowder I
  1. 1

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain them. Mash half of the potatoes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the bacon until very crisp. Crumble the bacon and set it aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the onion in the bacon grease until translucent and soft.

  4. 4

    Transfer the cooked onions to a large stockpot. Add the flour and cook until the mixture is bubbly and the flour is fully dissolved. Add the milk and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring often. Watch the pot closely while bringing it to a boil and heating, as the bottom can easily scorch. Once boiling, add the salt, pepper, bacon, corn, and all the potatoes. (If desired, reserve some of the bacon for garnish.)

  5. 5

    Heat the soup until hot. Serve garnished with a dash of paprika, a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, and some crumbled bacon.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
