The true taste of your summer favorites shine through in this wonderful chowder! Only two tablespoons of cream in this, pureeing one cup of the vegetables gives this chowder its creamy consistency.

SUMMER CORN AND POTATO CHOWDER



Summer Corn and Potato Chowder image

I have tried many corn chowder recipes and created this using fresh summer corn. I used Peaches and Cream corn but any fresh corn will do. My five-year-old gives it two thumbs up. Easy recipe to change up if you want. Add carrots for another pretty color.

Provided by Heidi

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 ears fresh sweet corn, husks removed
8 strips bacon, diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced celery
1 medium red or yellow bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
6 cups chicken stock
6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cup half-and-half
4 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the corn from the cobs. Take the back of a large knife and scrape it against the cobs to extract as much of the "milk" as you can. Set both aside in a bowl.
  • Cook bacon in a saute pan over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeno; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock and potatoes; bring to a low boil.
  • Lower heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook until potatoes are just about tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add corn kernels and any accumulated "milk," half-and-half, oregano, and cumin. Simmer until corn is tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with sour cream and Cheddar cheese.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slices bacon, chopped
6 cups fresh corn kernels(cut from 6 to 8 ears)
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh fennel bulb
1 cup diced yellow zucchini or crookneck squash (about 2)
1 cup 1/2-inch cubes peeled russet potatoes
3 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Sauté bacon in large pot over medium-high heat until crisp and brown. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Add corn, fennel, zucchini, and potatoes to drippings in pot; sauté 5 minutes. Add 3 cups broth and simmer uncovered over medium heat until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer 3 cups soup to blender. Holding blender top firmly, puree until smooth. Return puree to soup in pot. Stir in cream and cayenne. Bring chowder to simmer, thinning with more broth if too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle chowder into bowls and sprinkle with bacon and chives.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is the star of this chowder, so make sure to use it when it's in season. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen corn will also work.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Corn kernels should be tender but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use good-quality bacon: Bacon adds a smoky, salty flavor to the chowder. Choose a thick-cut bacon that's not too fatty.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bacon and vegetables, make sure to spread them out in a single layer in the pan. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season to taste: Every palate is different, so be sure to taste the chowder and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Summer corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer meal. With its fresh corn, smoky bacon, and creamy broth, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a summer soup recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
