Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon, sliced to 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, medium dice
1 medium carrot, medium dice
1 onion, medium dice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups homemade or low-sodium chicken stock
4 ears corn, kernels removed or 12 ounces frozen corn kernels
1 medium baseball-size red potato, medium dice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Add the bacon to the bottom of a large heavy soup pot set over medium heat. Stir until the bacon is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Add the butter and once melted, toss in the garlic, celery, carrots and onions, and saute until nice and tender, about 6 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and sprinkle in the flour and stir until light colored and pasty, another 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, and then stir in the corn, potatoes and thyme, and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes and corn kernels until just tender, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
  • Pour in the milk and simmer for 20 minutes more. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly before serving.

CLASSIC CORN CHOWDER (MILK FREE RECIPE)



CLASSIC CORN CHOWDER (MILK FREE RECIPE) image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato     Quick & Easy

Yield 6 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 - 16 oz frozen package of sweet white corn
1 - 16 oz can of coconut milk
3 - cup water
4 - chicken boullion cubes
6 - medium peeled potatoes
1 - small potato, peeled
1/4 lb of thick sliced pepper bacon
1 - medium onion
3 - stalks of celery
1 - 5-6 oz can of chopped green chilies
1 - Tablespoon of ground cumin, or 1 1/2 tsp of cumin seed
2 - teaspoons of chopped cilantro or ground coriander
Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Cut bacon into small strips, add to heated pot. Stir until crunchy, but not burnt. Limp bacon is a saboteur of this dish, you won't get the depth of flavor or the texture if you barely cook the bacon. Remove bacon when crisp, leave most of the fat in the bottom of the pot. Chop onion and celery into smallish pieces and add to pot. Stir onion and celery until onion gets a nice light brown color, carmelizing it. Chop medium potatoes into small bite sized pieces. Chop the small potato into very very small chunks, or slice it very thin, the small potato will provide some thickening to the soup. Add all of the potato to the pot and stir. Add corn, coconut milk, water, boullion cubes, chopped green chilies, reserved cooked chopped bacon, cilantro or coriander, and cumin to the pot. Put pot on medium high heat, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are soft. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve. And yes, for you people out there who do not have a milk allergy, cheddar cheese will taste absolutely delicious on top. If you have a milk allergy, like I do, it's quite delicious as is.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels have a sweeter, more flavorful taste than canned or frozen corn. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain and rinse it before using.
  • Don't overcook the corn. Corn kernels should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked corn will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. The vegetable broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder. Choose a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add some spices. A little bit of spice can help to brighten up the flavor of your chowder. Try adding a teaspoon of cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Corn chowder is delicious served with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a few crumbled pieces of bacon.

Conclusion:

Corn chowder is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious corn chowder that your family and friends will love.
