This Creamy Bacon Corn Chowder is the perfect warm and satisfying soup to beat the cold weather. It is rich, flavorful, and comforting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pot.
  2. Add onion and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth. Add corn, potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth.
  7. Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the simmering soup. Cook, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat through gently, but do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  10. Ladle the chowder into bowls and top each serving with the reserved crispy bacon pieces.

Notes

  • This recipe uses the planning structure Amelia loves, but Jacob adds his intuitive seasoning touch.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of bacon for your preferred level of smokiness.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mash a few of the potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
