Corn Chowder Recipe

This easy corn chowder recipe is one of my family's favorites. Bacon gives this corn chowder a salty crispness that really complements the creaminess of this corn chowder recipe.

Serve this corn chowder recipe with spinach salad and a hunk of homemade French bread.

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 8 oz. frozen corn
  • kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup cream or half and half
  • 2 large Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3-5 dashes hot sauce (optional)

Preparation:

  1. In a large, heavy saucepan or dutch oven, fry bacon until crisp.

  2. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour all but two tablespoons of bacon drippings out of pot.

  3. Add diced onions, garlic and red peppers to remaining bacon drippings. Saute, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, 4-6 minutes.

  4. Stir in corn. Saute 30 seconds or so, until glistening.

  5. Add vegetable stock, cream and potatoes.

  6. Bring to a boil. Let soup cook 8-12 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.

  7. Add hot sauce, if desired. Taste, and adjust seasonings.
