Description
You probably have these staples already. I fall back on this recipe often. Especially during the colder months. Pretty low in fat if made with skim milk. Also, Kid Approved!
Ingredients
- 6 ounces, weight Bacon (more Or Less)
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
- ½ cups Celery, Diced (I Use More)
- 2-½ Tablespoons Flour
- 1-½ cup Chicken Broth
- 5 cups Milk
- 1-½ pound Yellow Corn (frozen Works Well)
- 2 whole Medium Potatoes, Diced & Boiled (peeling Optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt (I Use Quite A Bit To Taste. Less Salt, More Lawry's)
Preparation
In a large heavy pot (or dutch oven), brown up the diced bacon (I cut mine up with scissors) over medium heat until desired crispness.
Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve to the side. Add onion and celery to the bacon fat and cook until soft. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Whisk in the chicken broth. Slowly whisk in the milk. Heat until just steaming. Carefully add the corn and the cooked potatoes. Return the cooked bacon. (I save some bacon to serve on top of soup in individual bowls).
Add your seasonings of choice. Reduce the heat to medium low or low. Simmer for one hour, stirring frequently.
Options to serve on top of soup: bacon, green onion, grated cheese, crackers, crusty bread……

MMmmmm….I like the few changes you made to this chowder. I especially like the frozen potato idea…gotta try that since it involves no chopping!

This is delicious. I’m not a huge “chowder” fan, but I had 8 ears of summer corn to use. Looked and found this recipe and it sounded like what we’d like to eat. I used fresh corn off the cob, frozen Ore Ida hash brown potatoes (boiled for a few minutes), a little half n half for some of the milk, and added my own spices to taste. Really easy and very good. I will be making this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
