CHICKEN AND CORN CHOWDER



Chicken and Corn Chowder image

In-season corn is so sweet, it's the perfect ingredient for a creamy summer chowder. Make sure to use the back of your knife to scrape off all the starchy liquid from the cobs to get the most flavor of the naturally sweet corn in your chowder.

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, WHITE BEAN, CORN & CHEDDAR CHOWDER



Chicken, White Bean, Corn & Cheddar Chowder image

WOW. This is the most delicious chowder I've had in a long time. I didn't have half-and-half or whipping cream so I used evaporated milk. I also didn't have any cheese, but the flavors are so great you can skip it. I added some creamed corn to this because I wanted more corn in the recipe, and I also added an additional can of white beans (personal preference). I loved that I could boil my chicken and have the stock ready. This is a definite make-again recipe courtesy of Spilling the Beans.

WHITE BEAN CHOWDER



White Bean Chowder image

A lovely, filling soup with sweet and spicy flavors from the sweet corn and spices. I found this in a Dairy Favorites card at the grocery and made a few tweaks for our preferences. You can also sub white cannellini beans for the great northern - I just find it easier to locate the great northerns in my area.
