Forevermamas Corn Chowda Chowder Recipes

• In a medium Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Drain or spoon off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat in the pot. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to become tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the flour, thyme, paprika, and bay leaves. Stir the flour into the vegetables to make a paste and coat them evenly. Cook a minute or two to get rid of the raw flour smell. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until all of the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Uncover the pot and add the potato, half-and-half, and corn. Simmer, uncovered, until the potato is very tender but not yet falling apart, 10 to 12 minutes. If desired, puree about a cup of the soup in a food processor or blender and stir it back into the soup. Discard the bay leaves. Serve garnished with the cooked bacon and some chives or parsley.

If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and blanch them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain. (If using frozen corn you can skip this step.) Add the corn to the soup, then add the half-and-half and cheddar. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot with a garnish of bacon.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until the vegetables are good and soft, 8 to 10 minutes.

If pinched for time, they can be boiled on the same day and place in freezer to speed up the cooling process. Remember to remove them from freezer so they won't freeze up).
• Peel skin off of potatoes. Cut potatoes into medium dice and set aside.
• Place a large soup pot on your stove top over med-high heat until pot is hot. Add chopped bacon and cook until browned to desired crispness, stirring every so often to evenly brown. Remove pot from heat and with a slotted spoon, remove diced bacon from the pot and set aside.

• To hot bacon fat, add diced onion; cook and stir until translucent. Add diced cooked bacon and stir. Add black pepper to taste.
