Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 small green bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh or canned chopped jalapeño chiles
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 oz), if desired

Steps

  • 1
    In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.
  • 2

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Jalapeño chiles add spunky flavor to this potato chowder, one that will satisfy even the most hearty appetites. However, if your family likes to take a walk on the mild side, just leave it out. This is great served with warm corn bread and cold milk.
  • tip 2
    Jalapeño-Tuna-Potato Chowder: Omit whole kernel corn. Add 1 can (6 ounces) white tuna in water, drained, with the remaining ingredients in step 3.
