Provided by Learningtocook

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Chowders     Corn Chowder Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ears fresh corn, in the husks
4 slices bacon, diced
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
4 cups chicken stock
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
coarse salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roast whole ears of corn directly on the rack of the preheated oven until kernels feel tender when pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool briefly, then peel back the husks and cut the kernels off the cobs.
  • While the corn is roasting, dice 1/2 the bacon slices. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and saute bacon until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve 1 tablespoon of the fat.
  • Add onion and garlic to the pan; saute until transparent, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add roasted corn kernels, chicken stock, and potatoes; bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes smooth and light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
  • Add the cooled flour mixture to the simmering stock, mixing with a whisk. Simmer, stirring often to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until potatoes are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Add cream and cooked chicken; simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Season chowder with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Ladle into bowls and top with bacon.

FRESH CORN AND CRAB CHOWDER



Fresh Corn and Crab Chowder image

I adapted this recipe from a camping cookbook, Simple Foods for the Pack, by Claudia Axcell, Diana Cooke and Vikki Kinmont. Originally almost all the ingredients were dehydrated (except for the canned crab) so that you can just throw them all in a ziplock and heat them in camp with water. This is probably a great idea for OAMC, but this recipe is also very fast to put together if you haven't made it ahead. I had it on the table within half an hour from start to finish, and that included time to cook the potatoes in the microwave. This chowder is very rich even without any dairy in it, and obviously you could make it vegetarian without the crab.

FRESH CORN CHOWDER (ADAPTED FROM COOK'S ILLUSTRATED) RECIPE - (4/5)



Fresh Corn Chowder (adapted from Cook's Illustrated) Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 ears corn (medium), husks and silks removed
3 ounces salt pork , trimmed of rind and cut into two 1-inch cubes (note: I used regular bacon, which worked out fine)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large onion , preferably Spanish, chopped fine
2 medium cloves garlic , minced (about 2 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
2 medium red potatoes (about 12 ounces), scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1 small red bell pepper (optional, my adaption)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 teaspoon dried)
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Stand corn on end. Using chef's knife, cut kernels from 4 ears corn (you should have about 3 cups); transfer to medium bowl and set aside. Following illustrations below, grate kernels from remaining 6 ears on large holes of box grater, then firmly scrape any pulp remaining on cobs with back of knife (you should have 2 generous cups kernels and pulp). Transfer to separate bowl and set aside. 2. Sauté salt pork (or quality thick-cut bacon) in Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, turning with tongs and pressing down on pieces to render fat, until cubes are crisp and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stir in butter and onions, cover pot, and cook until softened, about 12 minutes. If using, add the chopped red bell pepper in the last five minutes of cooking the onion. Remove salt pork and reserve. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, gradually add stock. Add potatoes, bay leaf, thyme, milk, grated corn and pulp, and reserved salt pork; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add reserved corn kernels and heavy cream and return to simmer; simmer until corn kernels are tender yet still slightly crunchy, about 5 minutes longer. Discard bay leaf and salt pork. Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn is sweeter and has a better flavor than frozen or canned 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.
  • Choose the right type of potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for corn chowder because they hold their shape well and don't get mushy. If you use a different type of potato, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, they may break down and make the chowder too thick.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. The vegetables in corn chowder should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the vegetables will make the chowder watery and bland.
  • Add some spices and herbs. Spices and herbs can help to enhance the flavor of corn chowder. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
  • Serve the chowder with a garnish. A garnish can help to add a pop of color and flavor to corn chowder. Some good options include chopped fresh parsley, chives, or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn. With a few simple tips, you can make a corn chowder that is sure to impress your family and friends.
