Heat olive or rapeseed oil in a non-stick saucepan; add onion, celery and green pepper and sauté over a medium heat for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are beginning to soften. Stir in potato, mushrooms, stock and black pepper. Bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until vegetables are just cooked, stirring occasionally.
Stir in milk, chicken and sweetcorn. Cover and bring gently back to the boil. Simmer chowder gently for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Stir in parsley. Serve on its own or with warm crusty bread or rolls.

Cook’s tips

To experiment with different flavours, try using canned crabmeat, tuna or salmon (drained and flaked), instead of the chicken. You could also try frozen peas in place of the canned sweetcorn.
