CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER WITH GREEN CHILIS AND BACON
This is a perfect late summer dish when corn is the best and its cool enough to roast a chicken, and use the leftovers in soup ; ) I used a home made broth, made from: 5 corn cobs, 1 chicken carcass, 3 small leeks, 4 carrots, 4 celery stalks, one onion, one head of garlic, fresh herbs and spices. Just a little salt. Its a very corn flavored broth perfect for this base. This recipe was inspired by The Pioneer Woman's "Corn Chowder with Chilies" http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/10/corn-chowder-with-chilies/

Steps:
- Prep garlic, onion, potatoes, celery together onto a large plate and put aside.
- Chop up bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium low heat until well done. Bacon will soften during soup cooking.
- Without draining drippings, add your chopped vegetables and cook until onions begin to soften.
- Over your pan, sift white flour beginning with 1 tbs until all the renderings are absorbed and a light coating on flour has appeared.
- Add stock.
- Bring to a low simmer and add your spices. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. During this time add your chicken and corn.
- At this time you might have to transfer to a stock pot. Add 1/2 cup light cream and start with one cup of milk. Return to a simmer.
- Separately, mix 1/4 cup corn meal and 1/2 cup of water. This is to be added to your chowder next for flavor and thickening.
- Depending on the consistency you like, add the rest of your milk and corn meal mixture. Add milk to make it thinner, and corn meal mix to make it thicker. Or both. The cornmeal will be visible in the soup, but if you have "fine" corn meal, you will not feel it.
- Simmer for 20 minutes until potatoes are soft. Serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh, sweet corn. This will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't overcook the corn. This will make it tough and chewy. Cook it until it is just tender, about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. This will also help to give your chowder a rich flavor. If you don't have chicken broth, you can use vegetable broth or water, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Add some fresh herbs. This will give your chowder a bright, fresh flavor. Some good options include parsley, cilantro, and chives.
- Serve your chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
