Servings 10
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked or rotisserie chicken, cubed
- 6 ears fresh corn
- 1 pound baby yukon gold potatoes, cut into small chunks
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup flour, 1:1 Gluten Free if GF
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
Instructions
- Remove the husks and silk from your corn, then cut the kernels off the cob. Set the kernels aside and place the cobs in a large pot.
- Pour in the chicken broth, cover and bring to a low simmer for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat a dutch oven or another large pot to medium. Add in the bacon and cook until crisp, then remove and set aside.
- Leaving the bacon grease in the pan, add in the onions, celery, carrots and half the salt and pepper.
- Sauté until they have softened, then add in the garlic and sauté for about 15 seconds.
- Add in the butter and once melted, add in the flour. Stir for about 1-2 minutes, cooking off the raw flour flavor.
- Remove the corn cobs from the chicken broth pot and discard. Pour the broth into the pot with the veggie mix.
- Add in the corn, chopped potatoes and cubed chicken. Stir in the heavy cream, remaining salt, pepper and thyme.
- Simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and the soup has thickened to your liking.
- Just before serving, add in the bacon and chopped parsley, then serve.
Recipe Notes
If you can't find fresh corn on the cob, you can use frozen and thaw it out ahead of time. Because the cobs give the chowder great corn flavor, I highly recommend using fresh corn if at all possible. If you can't find frozen corn on the cob, or you can use about 4 cups of cooked corn instead.
