Steps:
- Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until the vegetables are good and soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Dust the vegetables with flour and stir to coat everything well. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add the cream and the potatoes, bring to a boil and boil hard for about 7 minutes, until the potatoes break down (this will help to thicken the soup and give it a good texture).
- Cut the corn kernels off the cob and add to the soup. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the corn is soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the parsley and give it another little drink of olive oil. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

Steps:
- Melt 1 stick of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Cook until the roux is lightly browned; set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, combine the corn and chicken stock in another saucepan, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the boiling stock with the corn (a little at a time) into the saucepan with the roux, whisking briskly so it doesn't lump. Return the skillet to the heat and bring to a boil. The mixture should become very thick.

- Just before serving, cut the remaining stick of butter into large chunks. Add it to enrich the soup, stirring until the butter melts. (This added butter could be optional).

BEST NEW ENGLAND CORN CHOWDA (CHOWDER)
This is how my mother made her chowder for years, and it was always greeted with pleasure and delight from anyone partaking in in. Even my Aunt who has always hated Corn Chowder loved this recipe. You can use fresh corn if you prefer, but may want to add it in with the potatoes to cook, and if you must use canned corn, watch the salt. Canned corn will change the flavor greatly.

CORN CHOWDER
Steps:
- Put the olive oil in a large wide pot. Toss in the bacon and bring the pan to a low to medium heat. Cook the bacon slowly, stirring occasionally, until the bacon has let off a lot of fat and is crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Don't rush this step...you WANT the fat to melt out of the bacon. When the bacon is crisp, use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the pot and reserve it on paper towels.
- Add the onions and jalapenos to the pot and turn the heat up to medium-high. Season with salt and cook until the onions are soft and very aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Toss in the garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add half of the corn kernels, the cobs, half of the potatoes, bay leaves and stock. Season with salt. Bring the soup to a boil (BTB) and reduce to a simmer (RTS) and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the corn cobs from the chowder and let cool. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Using an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor in batches, puree the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot, toss in the remaining potatoes and 1 cup water. Add the sugar and chipotle powder. Bring the soup to a medium heat and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Stir the soup frequently to prevent sticking and burning on the bottom.
- While the potatoes are cooking in the soup, run a knife up the cooled corn cobs to scrape the yummy little pieces of the corn closest to the cob off--this is the most delicious corn-y goodness!!! When the potatoes are cooked, toss in the remaining corn, the corn cob scrapings and the heavy cream. Stir to combine. Taste and correct the seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately topped with the chives and reserved crispy bacon.
- Corn hole-in-one!!!!

DEPRESSION ERA CORN CHOWDER
This is the recipe my grandmother used when she was growing up during the great depression. 70 years later, it's still a delicious, satisfying form of comfort food. Serve immediately with saltine crackers. Tastes even better after sitting in the refrigerator over night. In my grandmother's day, they would have 'refrigerated' it on the back porch overnight!

Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best for corn chowder, but you can also use frozen or canned corn if fresh corn is unavailable.
- Sauté the vegetables. Sautéing the vegetables in butter or oil before adding them to the soup helps to bring out their flavor.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of the two.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Serve the soup hot. Corn chowder is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
