COLD DAY CORN CHOWDER



Cold Day Corn Chowder image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 thick slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
2 bay leaves
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 large russet potato (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
3 to 4 cups frozen fresh corn kernels (from 6 ears fresh corn) or 8-ounce store bought packages frozen corn, thawed and drained
Chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Drain or spoon off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat in the pot. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to become tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the flour, thyme, paprika, and bay leaves. Stir the flour into the vegetables to make a paste and coat them evenly. Cook a minute or two to get rid of the raw flour smell. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until all of the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Uncover the pot and add the potato, half-and-half, and corn. Simmer, uncovered, until the potato is very tender but not yet falling apart, 10 to 12 minutes. If desired, puree about a cup of the soup in a food processor or blender and stir it back into the soup. Discard the bay leaves. Serve garnished with the cooked bacon and some chives or parsley.

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.

EASY SUMMER CORN CHOWDER



Easy Summer Corn Chowder image

Summer corn chowder is served hot, but irresistible because of the fresh corn.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 teaspoons bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
2 ribs celery, strings removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice (3/4 cup)
8 sprigs thyme
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock, skimmed of fat
3 ears yellow corn, kernels removed (about 2 1/2 cups)
5 ounces small fingerling potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 poblano chile, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 1/2 cups half-and-half

Steps:

  • Place bacon in small stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon is deep golden brown and all the fat has been rendered, about 4 minutes. Remove bacon with slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel, and set aside. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
  • Add onions, celery, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste to stockpot; cook over medium-low heat until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 15 minutes.
  • Add corn, potatoes, and chile; cook until potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard thyme. Add half-and-half, and simmer until soup is hot. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with the reserved crisp bacon pieces.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen corn can be substituted.
  • To save time, use pre-cut vegetables such as diced celery and chopped onion.
  • If you like a thicker chowder, add more cornstarch or flour to the mixture.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Garnish the chowder with fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or thyme.
  • Serve the chowder hot with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a thick or thin chowder, with or without meat, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give corn chowder a try.
