Ingredients
- 6 corn shucked, ears
for the corn stock
- corn cobs
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon white peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons smoked salt
for the chowder
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 onion finely chopped
- 4 garlic finely chopped, cloves
- 2 potato peeled and cubed
- corn kernels
- 4 cups corn stock
- 2 cups heavy cream whole milk
- lemon juice of half
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
to serve
- Bacon crispy
- sour cream
- parsley
- chilli optional
Instructions
- Boil the shucked corn in a large pot of water until cooked.
- Remove the corn then cut off the kernels. Set the kernels aside and return the corn cobs to the pot of water with the onion, bay leaves, peppercorns and salt.
- Allow to simmer and reduce for 30 minutes then drain and set aside.
- Return the pot to the heat then melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic and allow to sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and corn and sauté for a further 10 minutes before adding the corn stock.
- Allow the chowder to simmer gently for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.
- Add the milk, lemon juice and season to taste.
- Transfer half of the chowder to a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer, you can strain this mixture back in the pot but I don't mind the texture of the blended chowder so I omit this step.
- Pour the blended chowder back into the pot with the remaining soup then check the seasoning and adjust.
- Serve the chowder topped with a dollop of sour cream, parsley and chilli (if using) and serve with crispy bacon dippers.
