1 tablespoon butter
1/4 pound bacon, diced
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken broth or stock

SUMMER CORN AND POTATO CHOWDER



Summer Corn and Potato Chowder image

I have tried many corn chowder recipes and created this using fresh summer corn. I used Peaches and Cream corn but any fresh corn will do. My five-year-old gives it two thumbs up. Easy recipe to change up if you want. Add carrots for another pretty color.

Provided by Heidi

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 ears fresh sweet corn, husks removed
8 strips bacon, diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced celery
1 medium red or yellow bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
6 cups chicken stock
6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cup half-and-half
4 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the corn from the cobs. Take the back of a large knife and scrape it against the cobs to extract as much of the "milk" as you can. Set both aside in a bowl.
  • Cook bacon in a saute pan over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeno; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock and potatoes; bring to a low boil.
  • Lower heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook until potatoes are just about tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add corn kernels and any accumulated "milk," half-and-half, oregano, and cumin. Simmer until corn is tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with sour cream and Cheddar cheese.

BASIC CORN CHOWDER



Basic Corn Chowder image

This is chowder at its simplest: corn, onion, potatoes and milk, with a couple of chopped tomatoes and a handful of parsley to add flavor and color. Starting with bacon and finishing with cream makes a richer version of the dish. But you could easily expand its borders by adding curry powder and ginger, sour cream and cilantro. Or when the potato is replaced by rice and the cream with coconut milk, Southeast Asian seasonings can be added to make a chowder that has little in common with the original, save for its intense corn flavor.

Categories     quick, weekday, soups and stews

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 to 6 ears of corn
1 tablespoon butter or neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tomatoes, cored, seeded and chopped (optional)
1 cup whole or low-fat milk
1/2 cup chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Shuck corn, and use a paring knife to strip kernels into a bowl. Put cobs in a pot with 4 cups water; bring to a boil, cover and simmer while you continue.
  • Put butter or oil in a saucepan, and turn heat to medium-high. When butter melts or oil is hot, add onion and potatoes, along with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes; add tomatoes and cook, stirring, for another minute or two.
  • After corncobs have cooked at least 10 minutes, strain liquid into onion-potato mixture; bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. When potatoes are tender, add corn kernels and milk, and heat through. Taste, and adjust seasonings. Garnish with the parsley, and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the best potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for potato chowder since they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when cooked.
  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is ideal for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned corn if fresh corn is unavailable.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the soup enhances their flavor and adds depth to the chowder.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of both.
  • Season the chowder well: Season the chowder to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Garnish the chowder before serving: Garnish the chowder with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, and a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche.
