Ingredients
- 3 cups corn kernels divided, defrosted if frozen
- 2 ½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 lices Bacon thick-cut
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 ribs celery chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound yellow potatoes peeled and diced ½"
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken or chopped chicken
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine 1 ½ cups corn, 1 cup broth, and 1 tablespoon flour in the blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- Cook bacon in a large pot until crisp. Remove from the pot and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Turn heat to medium and add onion and celery to the bacon grease in the pan and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add potatoes, remaining broth, and seasonings. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender. For a thicker chowder, gently mash a few of the potatoes if desired.
- Add remaining ingredients and simmer 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Garnish with reserved bacon and serve.
Notes
- Fresh corn is best if you have it (although canned or frozen do work fine!). Hold a corn cob vertically over a plate and use a paring knife to cut the kernels off. Easy peasy!
- Potatoes can be mashed a little more to thicken the soup further if needed.
- Don’t hesitate to add some heat if you like it! A few slices of jalapeno peppers, a handful of cheese on top, and some tortilla strips on the side turn corn chowder into a tex-mex feast!
