CORN CHOWDER WITH BACON



Corn Chowder with Bacon image

Make your next Corn Chowder extra tasty by using the bacon drippings to make the soup base and after cutting the kernels off, throw the corn cobs into the broth to infuse it with extra corn flavour! The potato is cooked until very soft, so the edges are starting to breakdown and this helps thicken the soup. Recipe VIDEO below.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 ears of corn
4 cups / 750g / 1.5 lb frozen or canned corn (, drained)
1 tsp butter ((or oil))
250g / 8 oz bacon (, chopped)
30g / 2 tbsp butter ((use 3 tbsp if bacon is lean))
1 garlic clove (, minced)
1 small onion (, diced (or half large onion) (yellow, brown or white))
5 tbsp flour
2 cups chicken broth (, low sodium)
3 cups milk ((I use low fat but full fat will work too))
600g / 1.2 lb potatoes (, cut into 1 cm / 2/5" cubes (about 2 large))
2 sprigs of thyme OR 1 tsp dried thyme
3/4 cup cream ((Note 1))
3/4 cup shallots / scallions (, green part finely sliced)
Salt and finely ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the corn off the cob. This is how I do it: Place a small ramekin in a large bowl. Place corn on the ramekin then cut the corn off. See video. Keep naked cobs.
  • Place 1 tsp butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove onto a paper towel lined plate. Leave fat in pot.
  • Lower heat to medium high. Add 2 tbsp butter, once melted, add garlic and onion. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes until onion is translucent.
  • Add flour and mix it in. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add broth, milk, potatoes, thyme and bay leaf. Break naked cobs into 2 or 3 and add into the liquid. Put the lid on and simmer for 25 minutes (adjust heat so it's simmering energetically but not bubbling like crazy or super gently).
  • Remove lid, remove corn cobs. Add corn and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked to your taste.
  • Stir through cream and 3/4 of the bacon and shallots. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon and shallots.
