Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ears of corn, shucked
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, 3/4 chopped and 1/4 thinly sliced lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped
4 cloves garlic, 3 cloves chopped and 1 sliced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 to 6 sprigs thyme
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Cut the kernels off the corn and scrape the cobs with the back of a knife to remove the liquid. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a dutch oven or other large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon; remove 2 tablespoons of the drippings and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat under the pot to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the chopped onion, corn and liquid, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and chopped garlic to the pot and season with the smoked paprika and thyme; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon salt; cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Smash some of the potatoes with a fork to thicken the soup. Stir in the chicken and heavy cream and cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes.
  • Heat the reserved bacon drippings in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until browned, 3 minutes, adding the sliced garlic during the last 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon to the plate with the bacon. Divide the soup among bowls; top with the bacon, onion and garlic.

Tips:

- Choose well-packaged corn on the cob with fresh, green husks. Avoid any cobs that have brown or yellow husks, as this indicates age and dryness. - When shucking the corn, remove all the silk strands to ensure a smooth and creamy chowder. - If you're using fresh thyme, strip the leaves from the stems before adding them to the chowder. This will help release their flavor more effectively. - For a thicker chowder, use a cornstarch slurry or a mixture of flour and water. Add it slowly while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. - Adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more salt, pepper, or thyme if desired. - Serve the chowder immediately, while it's hot and creamy. You can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:
