Note
Ensure the potato is cut uniformly so it cooks evenly with the beans.
For a thicker chowder, you can mash a portion of the beans and potatoes against the side of the pot during the last few minutes of cooking.
If using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly before adding to the soup to reduce sodium content.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chowder will thicken as it cools; add a splash of water or stock when reheating.
