CORN CHOWDER - ROSIE DALEY



Corn Chowder - Rosie Daley image

This is a recipe that I found a few years ago in the Rosie Daley cookbook when she was Oprah's personal chef. It's simple to do and very tasty. Sometimes I only puree half of the mixture so that there is a little more substance to the soup.

ROASTED CORN CHOWDER



Roasted Corn Chowder image

Roasted fresh corn and potato chowder is hard to beat on a chilly day! For a twist, add just a few ounces of smoked salmon and have an incredible British Columbia-inspired smoked salmon corn chowder. Had this in a little cafe on a dock in Vancouver, BC while waiting for a sea plane to take me to the outer west coast of Vancouver Island for a late season salmon fishing trip. I spent several years playing around with it to recreate it. Don't know if I matched theirs exactly, but I have come up with this basic roasted corn chowder recipe that turns into a great smoked salmon chowder, too.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 cups fresh white corn kernels
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 pound bacon
1 large onion, chopped
3 cups chicken stock, or as needed
6 potatoes, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried celery flakes
½ teaspoon paprika
½ cup half-and-half
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat; stir in corn and tarragon and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Place skillet with corn in the preheated oven; roast, stirring every 5 minutes, until lightly browned but not dry, about 20 minutes.
  • Place bacon in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon slices; drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat.
  • Heat reserved bacon fat in Dutch oven over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook and stir until the onion is very tender and dark brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour chicken stock over caramelized onions; stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to dissolve any browned bits, and bring to a boil. Stir corn, potatoes, parsley, garlic, celery, and paprika into onion mixture. Crumble bacon, reserving about 1/4 cup for garnish, and stir bacon into soup. Reduce heat to low; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

POBLANO SHRIMP CORN CHOWDER



Poblano Shrimp Corn Chowder image

Absolutely delicious and hearty soup that is always a crowd pleaser and the best I have ever had. Not for those highly concerned with fat grams but worth the splurge even if you are. Great served alongside a meal of soft tacos. I frequently use "Better than Bouillon" as a base and I think the lobster and vegetable are equally good. If you want a lighter, thinner version, omit the creams and use another quart of whole or 2% milk.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this chowder, but frozen corn can also be used in a pinch. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before adding it to the soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the soup watery.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as cayenne pepper or paprika, to taste.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Corn chowder is delicious served with crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

This creamy corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with flavor and vegetables, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Be sure to try it today!
