:: Creamy Corn Chowder ::

Have you ever had the corn chowder from Mimi’s Cafe? That soup was my inspiration behind this quick, easy, and flavorful autumn meal! {I actually haven’t been there in years… but I have fond memories of that warm, comforting dish!} This recipe is extremely easy using only a few ingredients. It can be made vegetarian, effortlessly, by omitting the bacon. It can also be made healthier by using milk in place of half & half, or heavy cream…. it’s your choice! I decided not to skimp on the creaminess… so I went with the heavy cream. {It was just one of those days!} The corn chowder turned out rich, creamy, and delicious friends! Paired with warm, crusty french bread… you have the perfect fall meal! I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 6 slices of bacon cut into small pieces {I used Turkey Bacon}
  • 1 small white onion chopped
  • 1/8 cup water
  • 2 large russet potatoes diced
  • 2 cans of creamed-style corn
  • 2 cups of milk half & half, or heavy cream {depending on your preference - I used heavy cream}
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large stockpot, cook bacon and onions until slightly brown. Add water, potatoes, salt & pepper. Cook until potatoes are done {starting to turn a golden brown}; add corn and milk {of choice}. Cook over medium heat until warm, approximately 15-20 minutes, but do not boil. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

*You can drain the bacon fat, if necessary, and return to the pot before adding the rest of the ingredients.
*Store any leftovers in an airtight tupperware container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!

    1. Hi John! I will update the recipe right now with that info. Thanks! For the water, I would add approximately 1/8 cup. As for the bacon, I’ve only used turkey bacon… so I have never needed to drain the fat. If using the real deal… I’d drain it or blot with a paper towel before adding the rest of the ingredients. I apologize that the recipe wasn’t clear! Thanks for stopping by!
