CORN CHOWDER I



Corn Chowder I image

Warm and soothing corn chowder with the salty bite of crisp bacon. This warms up well in the microwave and even tastes better a day old. I also freeze it in small batches. This makes a big pot of chowder but, it can easily be cut in half.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds potatoes - peeled and cubed
1 pound bacon
1 onion, chopped
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 (14.75 ounce) cans creamed corn
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 dash paprika

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain. Mash half of the potatoes and set aside.
  • Fry the bacon until very crisp. Crumple the bacon and set aside.
  • Fry the onion inn the bacon grease until translucent and soft.
  • Dump the cooked onions into a large stockpot. Add the flour and heat until the mixture is bubbly and the flour is well dissolved. Add the milk and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. You need to watch your pot pretty carefully while bringing to a boil and heating. The bottom tends to easily scorch. Once boiling add the salt, pepper, bacon, corn and all the potatoes. (If desired reserve some of the bacon for the garnish.)
  • Heat soup until hot. Serve garnished with a dash of paprika, a sprinkling of cheddar cheese and some crumbled bacon.

Tips:

  • For a thicker chowder, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir into the chowder and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until thickened.
  • To make your chowder even more flavorful, try adding a splash of white wine or beer during the cooking process.
  • For a smoky flavor, roast the corn kernels before adding them to the chowder. Simply spread the kernels in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • If you don't have any fresh corn on hand, you can use frozen corn kernels instead. Just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the chowder.
  • If you want to add some extra vegetables to your chowder, try adding diced carrots, celery, or potatoes.
