When the weather is cold outside nothing is more comforting that a bowl of hot, delicious chowder. My favorite is Corn Chowder with just a hint of bacon! My mom used to make this corn chowder so I have been enjoying it for a long time! You don’t need to use heavy cream when making this chowder, I usually just use mile or fat free half and half. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Corn Chowder
½ cup diced bacon
2 Tbsp butter
¾ cup chopped onion
¾ cup chopped celery
1 quart homemade chicken stock
2 cups diced potatoes
3-10 oz packages of frozen corn
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Sauté the bacon in butter until crisp and browned.
Add onion and celery; cook until vegetables are crisp tender.
Meanwhile, measure stock in large pot, add potatoes and cook until just tender.
Puree 2 packages of corn in the blender, using a little of the hot stock while blending. Add blended corn and whole kernels, sautéed vegetables and cream to soup pot.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat to serving temperature. Enjoy!
