Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups of diced potatoes
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon of thyme

Instructions
- In a large pot, cook 6 slices of chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot 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 and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth and add 2 cups of diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the chowder until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, transfer half of the chowder to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Serve the chowder hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and chopped fresh parsley.
