Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ears of corn, shucked
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, 3/4 chopped and 1/4 thinly sliced lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped
4 cloves garlic, 3 cloves chopped and 1 sliced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 to 6 sprigs thyme
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Cut the kernels off the corn and scrape the cobs with the back of a knife to remove the liquid. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a dutch oven or other large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon; remove 2 tablespoons of the drippings and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat under the pot to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the chopped onion, corn and liquid, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and chopped garlic to the pot and season with the smoked paprika and thyme; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon salt; cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Smash some of the potatoes with a fork to thicken the soup. Stir in the chicken and heavy cream and cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes.
  • Heat the reserved bacon drippings in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until browned, 3 minutes, adding the sliced garlic during the last 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon to the plate with the bacon. Divide the soup among bowls; top with the bacon, onion and garlic.

CHICKEN AND CORN CHOWDER WITH THYME



Chicken and Corn Chowder with Thyme image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Herb     Poultry     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Corn     Summer     Thyme     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield 2 Servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 14 1/2-ounce can low-salt chicken broth
1 10-to 12-ounce russet potato, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen (about one 10-ounce package frozen)
6 to 8 ounces skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
1 cup half and half

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings from pan. Add onion; sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add broth and potato. Cover pan; simmer 5 minutes. Add corn, chicken and thyme. Partially cover pan; simmer until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add half and half and bring to simmer, about 2 minutes. Season chowder to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with cooked bacon and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and chicken will give your chowder the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the chowder will be watery.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: Add the vegetables that take longer to cook, such as potatoes and carrots, first. Then add the vegetables that cook more quickly, such as corn and peas, near the end of the cooking time.
  • Season the chowder to taste: Add salt, pepper, and thyme to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the chowder hot: Chicken and corn chowder is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Chicken and corn chowder is a classic comfort food that's perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy broth, tender chicken, and sweet corn, this chowder is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
