Categories     Chowders

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces smoked turkey breast, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large potato, diced
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup green chili, mild,chopped (canned)
1 lb corn (frozen)
1/2 cup cream
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients (except cream) in a soup pot.
  • Slowly bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are soft (about 1 hour).
  • Whisk in the cream and simmer for 20 minutes longer.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but frozen corn kernels can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it before adding it to the soup.
  • Use good-quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon is best for this soup, as it will add more flavor. If you can't find thick-cut bacon, you can use regular bacon, but cut it into smaller pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon. This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will add more flavor to the soup.
  • Use a good-quality stock. Chicken stock or turkey stock are both good options for this soup. If you don't have any stock on hand, you can use water, but the soup will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't boil the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the soup hot. This soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Smoky Turkey Corn Chowder with Bacon is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. This soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
