Garden Fresh Corn Chowder

September 25, 2014 by Shari Eckstrom 64 Comments

Garden Fresh Corn Chowder Each week I create a recipe using the featured fruit or veggie of the week from the Preserve the Harvest Series. This week preserve the harvest was all about corn. I waffled back and forth on what recipe I would create. There were so many ideas running through my head I couldn’t make up my mind.

Garden Fresh Corn Chowder A quick trip to the garden made my choice a little easier. Fresh corn, peppers and onions along with some amazing Klondike Brand potatoes I picked up at the store sealed the deal for me. Garden Fresh Corn Chowder won the day.

Garden Fresh Corn Chowder I was happy with how all the delicious veggies came together with this soup. While not a traditional Corn Chowder, the fresh veggies give a ridiculous amount of flavor to the chowder. I was scraping the bowl for every last bite.

I like my corn chowder rich and creamy so I have chosen to use whole milk and cream. If you are watching your waistline feel free to use 3 cups 2% milk instead. The chowder will lose some of its richness but will still be delicious. Also, if you are going the vegan route, skip the bacon and start from the infused oil, increasing the amount to 2 tbsp of oil instead.
Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 10 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 tbsp infused rosemary oil (olive oil can be substituted)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced ¼" x 1"
  • 3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
  • 6 ears fresh corn cut from the cob (or 3 cups frozen)
  • 2 medium Klondike Royale Potatoes, cubed
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1-2 tsp sea salt, to taste
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup Cream
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 - 2 tsp hot pepper sauce, optional
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon in a large dutch oven over medium heat until crisp.
  2. Drain bacon reserving 1 tbsp bacon grease. Set bacon aside.
  3. Return bacon grease to dutch oven with 1 tbsp rosemary oil over medium heat.
  4. Add onions, peppers and celery, cook for 4 -5 minutes until vegetables have softened.
  5. Stir in corn, potatoes, pepper, rosemary and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes until potatoes have softened.
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. Add milk, cream, salt and hot pepper sauce.
  8. Return chowder to a simmer (do not boil or milk and cream may break down)
  9. Meanwhile stir together ¼ cup water and 3 tbsp cornstarch.
  10. Add cornstarch mixture to chowder stirring constantly to thicken chowder. Repeat water and cornstarch mixture if you prefer a thicker chowder.
  11. Serve immediately with crisped bacon sprinkled on top.

    I remember the first time I made soup and decided to put some fresh corn into it. I asked myself why I had never done that before! It is SO much better than frozen or canned.
    Thanks for the recipe, Shari.

    Oh this looks and sounds so good! I’m wishing for smellernet and tasternet again! I love chowder, but Hubby doesn’t like corn chowder for some reason, so I don’t get to make it at home. I do eat it when I find it on menus out, but I just know it would be so much better homemade! Thanks for being an awesome part of The Yuck Stops Here!

      This is a really simple broth to put together. I vary my veggies to whatever I have on hand. The most important part is to brown those veggies. It gives great color and flavor too the broth. Enjoy!

      Thanks Carrie. The boat trip turned out to be quite an adventure. The steering went completely out and for awhile all we could do is go in circles. One of those trips we will be laughing about for years. Great to have spent it with friends.
