Best 7 Corn Chowder Pie Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a medium/large Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the corn, potatoes, onion, poblano, bell pepper, celery, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and ½ teaspoon chili powder. Stir to combine. Cook until the onions are tender and translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, while stirring constantly. Add the broth and water and stir to combine. Drop in the bay leaf.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. It's not done until the potatoes are fully cooked through and very easily pierced through with a fork.
• Remove the pot from the heat. Using kitchen tongs, remove the bay leaf. Carefully transfer about 3 cups of the soup (about half liquid, half solids) to a blender. Securely fasten the lid and be careful to avoid the hot steam as you blend until completely smooth. Add the butter and blend again.
• Pour the mixture back into the pot. Add the cilantro, crème fraîche (see note if using sour cream or Greek yogurt) and lime juice. Stir to combine. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and be generous with the black pepper, to taste. If you'd like more spice, add up to 1/2 teaspoon more chili powder, to taste.
• Divide the chowder into bowls and top with garnishes of your choice. Leftover chowder will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days or for several months frozen.

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until onion has softened and just starting to brown around edges, about 8 - 10 minutes.
• Add in the flour and garlic and cook 1 1/2 minutes. While whisking, slowly pour in 5 cups water or broth.
• Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then stir in corn kernels and potatoes. Add in thyme and bay leaf and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring to a light boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Remove bay leave then transfer 2 1/2 cups of the chowder to a blender and blend until smooth.
• Stir the mixture back into the pot then stir in half and half and honey. Sprinkle each serving with chives and optional cheddar.

CORN AND CRAB CHOWDER POT PIES

Steps:

• Heat some extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pot, in a Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. Add the chopped speck and render a couple of minutes. Add the potatoes, celery, onion, garlic, chile, thyme, crab seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot, cover, and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken stock and milk and bring to a boil.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook the roux 1 minute, then stir in the mustard and transfer the roux to the chowder mixture. When the roux has incorporated, stir in corn and bring the chowder to a bubble, reduce to slightly thicken. Turn the heat off, cool completely, and store for make-ahead meal.
• To serve, heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Unfold the pastry dough and choose the bowls or individual shallow casseroles or deep ramekins that you wish to serve in. Use one as a template and cut 4 shapes from the sheet of dough, using a sharp paring knife to maneuver around the dish shape. Arrange the pastry dough on a non-stick baking sheet or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg with a splash of water and brush the dough with the egg wash. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden.
• Reheat the chowder, covered, over moderate heat until the soup bubbles, then uncover and simmer.
• Meanwhile, run your hands through the crabmeat to check for shells, discard the the shells. Sprinkle the crab with hot sauce and stir into the chowder to heat through.
• Serve the chowder in individual dishes topped with pastry.

CORN CHOWDER PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• For the crust: Pulse the oyster crackers, garlic powder and pepper in the bowl of a food processor until the crumbs are finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture comes together - it should hold together when squeezed in your hands.
• Press the crust into the base and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until the crust is lightly golden brown and smells toasty, 10 to 13 minutes.
• While the crust bakes, make the filling: Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until the fat is rendered and the bacon is fully crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
• Add the celery and leeks and cook in the bacon fat until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
• Melt the butter into the pan, then sprinkle the flour evenly over the base of the pan. Stir well, then cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the potatoes, cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the mixture thickens noticeably, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the cream, corn and paprika and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally while simmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Gently ladle the hot chowder into the crust. Transfer the pie back to the oven and bake until the filling becomes matte on top and the crust is deeply golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with the reserved bacon, chives and parsley just before serving.
