Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 ears corn
4 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 ounces lean slab bacon, finely diced
1 cup finely diced onion
2 medium leeks, white part only, finely diced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
2 Idaho potatoes, peeled and finely diced
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups small chanterelles, about 5 ounces, stems scraped
3/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
6 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 1 cup chicken stock (optional)
1 pound peeky-toe crab meat, jumbo lump crab meat or diced lobster meat or a mixture

Steps:

  • Strip kernels from cobs, and reserve. Place cobs in a saucepan with cream, bring to a boil, and set aside to cool.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add bacon, and sauté over medium heat until it barely begins to brown. Stir in onion, leeks and celery. Sauté until translucent. Add potatoes, and stir. Remove cobs from cream, strain cream, and add to saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Add corn kernels. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Add chanterelles, and sauté over medium-low heat until tender but not browned. Add to soup. Add caraway seeds, thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Thin soup with chicken stock if desired.
  • Just before serving, melt remaining butter in a small skillet, add crabmeat or lobster, and warm in butter. Put in soup plates or add to soup. Bring soup to a simmer, check seasonings, and serve.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I always have a few pieces of leftover salmon or shrimp in my fridge, and this chowder is the perfect way to use them up.

I love that this chowder is made with fresh corn. It gives the chowder a sweetness and freshness that you can't get from canned corn.
