This is a very simple recipe to make at home. Its the perfect combination of sweet and salty with the combination of the corn and bacon held together with the richness of the cream.
To make this you will need:
100g bacon; 4-5 strips of your favourite bacon will work. Feel free to use more or less
1 white onion, medium sized and cut into a medium dice
2 corn cobs, with corn removed (or 2 cups of frozen corn, or 1 can corn niblets)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1tbsp butter
2tbsp flour
2 potatoes, diced medium
1L chicken stock
500ml whipping cream
1. Dice your bacon and render over medium heat.
2. Add diced onion and cook until the onion is translucent. Feel free to add a little vegetable oil if you think your pot is too dry to properly cook the onions.
3. Add the corn and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Add butter and once melted, add the flour. Stir well so that flour is fully incorporated into the veggies. 6. Stir in the chicken stock making sure to fully dissolve the flour.
7. Add the diced potatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes and corn are cooked.
8. Heat the whipping cream in a small pot. Do not allow to come to a boil.
9. Add cream to the chowder.
10. Season and enjoy.
