Mac & Cheese Chowder

My kids wanted mac and cheese for supper but I needed something filling to feed a large group so this is what I came up with 😊

After. Yummy.

This is just a simple macaroni and cheese recipe made from scratch. I like to top my mac and cheese with sweet Italian sausage or white mushrooms before loading it with even more cheese and baking it in the oven

The sodium citrate is the key to this recipe. It is an emulsifier that helps the cheese melt without separating into a greasy mess.

homemade favorite perfect for a cold night or sunday dinner

Finally, it is here! I had been wanting to make this dish for as long as I can remember. My daughters have been requesting for this for ages. Perhaps I couldn't find a great mac n cheese recipe, I mean I'd tried my fair share of mac n cheese, home-cooked and at eateries. I wasn't at all impressed. Sure, some are Instagram-worthy with all that photogenic cheese pull but most fall flat on flavors.They were either too gloopy or too blend without much depth in flavors. Some of the cheese sauces are too over-powering which kinda makes me wanna throw up. Yes, it is that bad. And please don't get me started on the bread crumbs. I also had tried my hands on some of the celebrity chef's recipes, but I still wasn't impress. Until I stumbled upon Heston Blumenthal's version. He is right, you will never cook mac n cheese the same way again.He is right about the typical cheese sauce or mornay sauce whereby it starts with a roux and mixing in the milk and cheese. The roux will somehow makes the sauce gloopy and mask the flavors of the cheese. He switched the traditional ingredients and methods out for 4 simple elements: wine, stock, corn flour and cheese. I was a bit mindblown cos I finally found someone who agrees with me. Without much hesitation, I went ahead with his recipe and guess what? He also uses the same pasta cooking method as I am. How cool is that?

Three cheeses!

I make A LOT of Mac and cheese. I make all kinds of it. This is the crowd pleaser. Kids and adults alike will clean this pan and it comes together very quickly.

My sister-in-law used to make this soup many years ago. My girls loved it so much that I had to get her recipe. I always make a double batch, as it disappears quickly.

Just threw some things together and this was the result. Creamy and delicious!

tasty stuff be ready for a party in your mouth.

yumo so very good

Super easy and tasty!

I live in the New England area and there are many delicious chowder restaurants. I tried to make this chowder taste closest to the restaurant that makes me think, "This place is delicious." I can make this dish quickly whenever I want with canned clams, so it is very easy and economical.You can taste the strong flavor of wine, so if you do not like wine, use less of it. Usually there are no carrots in New England Clam Chowder, but I used them since I prefer the taste. The soup will be delicious if you add other vegetables you like such as corn. If you have leftovers, you can toss with pasta for a delicious pasta dish. Recipe by Chikichikichiki-ta

My family loves potato soup so I experimented with adding a few other things. Ended up with a delicious soup that includes corn. My measurements are approximate. You can add more or less of each item based on your own preferences.

Did not have ingredients to make a salad for dinner or all the ingredients that I usually use to make this chowder in the fridge or pantry. So I pulled out everything I thought would make a good quick soup and it turned out very yummy.

This mac'n'cheese recipe is dairy-egg-free. The "cheese" sauce texture is created by pureeing potatoes, carrots, onions, cashews, garlic and nutritional yeast.My recipe was inspired by Jordan Kenna's "Vegan Mac'n'Cheese" on tasty.com

Pretty good, just made on the fly

My whole family loves this chowder. Its great with fresh bread, bread bowls, crackers, or even by itself. Just spice it up by the bowl to each person's individual tastes.
