Creamy Corn Chowder

October 15, 2013

 

Creamy Corn Chowder {Simply Happenstance}

:: 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
  1. 6 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces {I used Turkey Bacon}
  2. 1 small white onion, chopped
  3. 1/8 cup water
  4. 2 large russet potatoes, diced
  5. 2 cans of creamed-style corn
  6. 2 cups of milk, half & half, or heavy cream {depending on your preference - I used heavy cream}
  7. salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. 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
  1. *You can drain the bacon fat, if necessary, and return to the pot before adding the rest of the ingredients.
  2. *Store any leftovers in an airtight tupperware container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!

    I’m from Maui, Hawaii. We are expecting two hurricanes in the next few days so I decided to prepare some comfort food. I came across your recipe and immediately cooked it. It tastes wonderful. Just wanted to thank you for sharing it.
    Mahalo,

    How much water should we put in? Also, should we drain the grease from the bacon?

      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!
