I have to confess something: I never liked potato soups! They were either too watery, not enough potatoes or too much cream. But the following potato soup recipe is THE best potato chowder recipe I have ever tasted (and it’s not because I made it). It has the perfect ingredients, right amount of potatoes and most of all, it’s deliciously creamy. Trust me, YOU WANT to know my secret ingredient! It’s Carnation® Evaporated Milk! It has less water than milk and adds such a rich texture to this fall soup recipe. Read the following directions to make this easy healthy soup recipe
Creamy Potato Chowder: A healthy soup recipe for your brisk fall days
I have been using Carnation® Evaporated Milk a lot lately. I used it in this delicious butternut squash soup recipe. I also use it in my everyday dishes, like homemade mac and cheese, lasagna recipes and more. I like how easy and simple it is to use.
The Carnation® Evaporated Milk website has tons of recipes, from appetizers to desserts, so I never run out of ideas. Carnation® Evaporated Milk has been helping Canadians bake delicious recipes, like pumpkin pie and fudge, for years. Make sure to check out their website and get inspired by their ideas.
Let me share with you this delicious potato chowder with Carnation® Evaporated Milk.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp of vegetable oil
- 1 /2 cups of carrots chopped
- 1 ½ cups of celery chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic chopped
- 2 lbs. of Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and chopped in 1
- 4 cups of chicken stock
- 2 cans of Carnation® Regular or 2% Evaporated Milk
- ¼ cup of chopped fresh dill
- salt to taste
Make it
- Heat oil on medium heat in a large pot
- Add next 4 ingredients. Cook and stir occasionally for 5 minutes or until onions are tender
- Add potatoes and stock
- Bring to boil, cover, and lower heat
- Simmer for 15 minutes until potatoes are tender
- Add Carnation® Regular or 2% Evaporated Milk and cook for additional 5 minutes
- Puree half of the soup
- Return to pot and combine well
- Stir in dill and salt to taste
It was so creamy, rich and good that I had to make a second batch the following day. I tried with Carnation® Regular, 2% and Fat Free Evaporated Milk. I find they have the same creaminess. It’s a win-win: less fat for the same creaminess and texture.

Never been a fan of potato soup as well, but to tell you the truth this looks awesome. Will definitely give it a try soon
Potato soup is my all-time favorite, but I don’t think I’ve ever had it as a chowder. May have to try it!
YUM. It is so easy to make too. I have to try it.
I love my husband’s potato soup but I’ve never made it myself before. I have never used Carnation before because I didn’t know what to do with evaporated milk. Thanks for all the ideas!

Pinning! I am a sucker for soup during the winter! Usually “creamy” and “healthy” don’t seem to mix, so this is a double win!

This looks so tasty. Ive cooked with Carnation milk and it really helps make a meal more creamy. Love that.
This sounds yummy! We have had flurries here on my side of Michigan. The other side of the state is already covered in snow. Our turn is coming and soup weather will be here in full force.
We’ve already got snow here in Iowa, so this just makes me feel warm inside. I love potatoes. 🙂
