Title: Recipe review Bacon & Corn Chowder & Cheesy Scones Dinner Spinner
Post by: judydawn on February 04, 2012, 11:33:11 pm
This review is from JulieO from another thread

  
December 06, 2011    

This afternoon I made the Bacon & Corn Chowder with Cheesy Scones.  One word.....Delicious!

I can't remember enjoying a soup quite so much for a long time.  

Just a couple of little things that I did; As there is only the 2 of us I halved the cheesy scones recipe which still made 8 scones which I will continue to do again.

I left the MC off for all the cooking part of it too, and I added 50g cream instead of the optional 100g.
I used frozen chicken stock concentrate cubes for the stock with also a cube of the frozen veg stock concentrate for added flavour.

The scones were really nice also.  I can't fault this dish at all!  5/5

Made this for lunch today for the family. Nice easy quick recipe to make. Didn't need to make many tweaks excepting that I added a little extra vege stock like JulieO and I thickened a little extra.

5/5 for us.

I can't wait for summer to be over so that I can make some of Tenina's wintery recipes.

I'm making this right now as it's cooler tonight. I'd make my scones larger in diameter next time as2 small ones won't fit in my soup bowls for the oven. I'm only making this as a trial, so am baking the rest of the scones.

Next time, I'll freeze the raw scones instead of baking them as they need the extra liquid of the chowder to have a nice soft texture.
Never mind! I'll still freeze them and will just add them to the soup in the oven when it's nearly cooked through.

My oven mustn't have been hot enough because the scones were 'doughy'. They were browned on top, but didn't rise up like JulieO's did in the picture.

Loved the flavour of the soup.

I'm book marking this one for when the weather gets cooler. Does sound good. Although I don't have the book I do have the iPad app. Yum.

Johnro, that sounds lovely.  My DD said the soup would be lovely with chicken in it. I would use creamed corn next time I make it and add potato as a part of the veggies.

Made this again last night using a combo of the tweaks form my last attempt but ommitting cream and frozen corn - the cheesey scones were delish!!

Lexi, it's in Tenina Holder's Dinner Spinner (http://tenina.com/store/#ecwid:category=1745564&mode=product&product=7403680) booklet. You should also be able to find it in her iPhone app if you have one.

On my to do list for next week.

Cheesey Scones, can I use sparkling mineral water instead of soda water?

Thx :)
