Creamy Corn Chowder
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook 4 slices of chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add 1 diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Stir in 3 cups of corn kernels, 4 cups of chicken broth, and 2 diced potatoes. Season with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and the cooked bacon. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
Corn chowder is a classic American soup with a rich history dating back to the 19th century. It originated in the New England region, where corn was a staple crop. The dish was popularized by home cooks and eventually found its way onto the menus of restaurants and diners across the country. Chefs like Julia Child and Emeril Lagasse have put their own spin on this comforting dish, adding ingredients like bacon, potatoes, and herbs to enhance the flavor. Today, the best versions of corn chowder can be found in coastal New England towns, where fresh corn and seafood are abundant. The key to a delicious corn chowder lies in using fresh, sweet corn and incorporating a creamy base with a hint of smokiness. Some alternative methods for making this dish include adding crab or lobster for a luxurious twist.
