2 medium potatoes, diced (peeled or unpeeled)
-
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
3 cups milk (or half milk, half broth)

Instructions
-
Sauté aromatics
In a pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. -
Add potatoes
Toss in the diced potatoes and cook 1 minute to coat them with butter. -
Make the chowder base
Sprinkle flour over the potatoes. Stir well to coat — this thickens the soup.
Slowly pour in the milk and broth, stirring constantly. -
Simmer
Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook 10–15 minutes until potatoes are tender. -
Add tuna & spinach
Stir in the tuna, breaking it into chunks. Add the chopped spinach. Simmer 2–3 more minutes until spinach wilts. -
Add cheese
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and the chowder becomes creamy.
Add cream if using. -
Season
Add paprika, thyme (optional), salt, and pepper to taste. -
Serve
Ladle into bowls and serve with crusty bread, crackers, or garlic toast.
Optional Add-Ins
-
Corn (½ cup)
-
Celery (1 stalk, chopped)
-
Carrots (½ cup diced)

A dash of cayenne or chili flakes for heat
