Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh corn. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the chowder will be thinner.
  • To make the chowder vegetarian, omit the bacon. You can also add more vegetables, such as diced carrots, celery, or potatoes.
  • Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
  • For a smoky flavor, roast the corn on the cob before cutting it off the cob.
  • If you like a thicker chowder, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the chowder and cook until thickened.

Conclusion:

This fresh corn chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up fresh corn. The chowder is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So, next time you have some fresh corn, give this recipe a try!
