SOUTHERN CORN CHOWDER
From a cookbook I picked up sometime ago. I've changed the instructions just slightly. You could always use the bacon drippings with the butter to sauté onion and celery.

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!!!!
Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned corn if you don't have any fresh corn on hand.
- Don't overcook the corn. Corn only takes a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
- Use a good quality stock. The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder. Use a stock that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
- Add some cream or milk. Cream or milk will help to make your chowder creamy and rich. You can use whole milk, low-fat milk, or even heavy cream, depending on how rich you want your chowder to be.
- Season to taste. Be sure to season your chowder to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You may also want to add a bit of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Conclusion:
Southern-style corn chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
