Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon corn oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) package frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 cup water
1 tablespoon corn oil
1 ½ cups finely diced celery
1 cup diced red onion
¼ cup shallot, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3 cups vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potato is tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Once the potato is tender, remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the whole corn kernels, sweet potato, and chopped parsley. Return to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Provided by Miss Annie

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
1 cup onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup red pepper, coarsely chopped
1 cup leek, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh marjoram, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2 inch chunks (1 lb.)
1 cup fresh corn or 1 cup frozen corn
6 cups chicken broth
3 cups water, divided use
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup half-and-half or 1/2 cup milk
2 cups cooked chicken, cut in chunks

Steps:

  • In stock pot, sauté bacon over medium heat until crisp and browned.
  • Remove bacon and set aside.
  • Add onion, red pepper, leek, thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper to bacon drippings.
  • Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add sweet potatoes, corn, chicken broth and 2 1/2 cups water to mixture in stock pot.
  • Cook until sweet potatoes are tender (approx. 15 to 20 minutes).
  • Mix cornstarch and 1/2 cup water and stir into soup.
  • Heat to boiling, stirring constantly and cook until thickened.
  • Reduce heat to low, stir in half and half or milk, bacon and cooked chicken.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of sweet potato. For this recipe, you'll want to use a sweet potato that is firm and has a deep orange color. This will ensure that the potatoes hold their shape and don't become mushy in the soup.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the soup will be too thick.
  • Use a good quality bacon. The bacon is one of the main flavors in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality bacon that is thick and flavorful.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables. The vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the soup. Make sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onion.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful broth that will add depth of flavor to the soup. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
  • Season the soup to taste. Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato, bacon, and corn chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold fall or winter day. This soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting meal, give this soup a try!
