Creamy Corn and Potato 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
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon of thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the corn kernels and diced potatoes, then pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can transfer half of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Stir in the heavy cream and thyme, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the chowder simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the chowder hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and chopped fresh parsley.
