A delicious meaty soup with lots of flavor. This is a dinner chowder - it's great with oven toasted buttered french bread. Wonderful for fall and winter evenings and it is even better reheated!

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

½ pound thick sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 carrots, diced
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, cook for 5 minutes, whisking frequently. Add the bacon, cooked vegetables, potatoes, and corn. Return to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more. Use additional milk as needed to to achieve desired consistency.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the chowder will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, thick-cut bacon, and tender beef. Experiment with various types of beef cuts for different flavors - chuck roast, short ribs, or brisket.
Cook the bacon until crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delightful smoky flavor and texture to the chowder. Cook it until it's golden brown and slightly charred around the edges.
Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in butter or oil before adding them to the chowder enhances their flavor and sweetness. Cook them until they are tender but still have a slight bite.
Use a flavorful beef broth: The beef broth is the base of the chowder, so it's essential to use a high-quality one. Look for a broth made with real beef bones or a concentrated beef stock for a more intense flavor.
Add some beer or wine: Adding a splash of beer or wine to the chowder adds depth and complexity to the flavor. Choose a beer or wine that you enjoy drinking, as it will impart its characteristics to the chowder.
Season the chowder well: Don't be afraid to season the chowder generously with salt and pepper. Taste it throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Garnish the chowder before serving: A simple garnish can elevate the presentation of the chowder and make it more appealing. Try sprinkling some chopped fresh parsley, chives, or grated Parmesan cheese on top.
