Serves:
Ingredients
- 3 cups of corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium-sized onion, diced
- 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 strips of bacon, chopped
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
-
Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until translucent.
-
Add the corn kernels and diced potatoes to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Pour in the milk and broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
-
Using a potato masher or immersion blender, partially blend the chowder to create a creamy texture while still leaving some chunks of corn and potatoes. Alternatively, you can remove a portion of the chowder and blend it separately, then return it to the pot.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with the crispy bacon.
