1 pie pumpkin (approx 2lbs),peeled and grated
1 med onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced

Add corn and heavy cream, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until everything is cooked through and soup has thickened a little. Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove herb sprig and serve.

Tips:

  • For a creamier chowder, use half-and-half or milk instead of water.
  • To make the chowder ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chowder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chowder over medium heat until warmed through.
  • If you don't have any fresh corn on the cob, you can use frozen corn kernels. Just add them to the chowder frozen, and they will cook through as the chowder simmers.
  • To add a bit of smokiness to the chowder, cook the bacon in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside. Then, add the onion and celery to the skillet and cook until softened. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the chowder.
  • If you want a thicker chowder, add a cornstarch slurry to the pot. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Then, whisk the slurry into the simmering chowder until it has reached the desired thickness.
