Corn and Bacon Chowder Recipe

There’s nothing like a quick, easy soup on a cold winter day. This corn and bacon chowder is just hearty enough that you can’t tell it’s broth-based and not cream-based! It pairs perfectly with our homemade rolls or bread bowls to warm you up from the inside out.

Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon diced into 1/2" thick pieces
• ½ cup onion diced (we prefer ours diced really small)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups potatoes diced and peeled
• 2 14.5 ounce cans sweet creamed corn
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, cook diced bacon until it starts to get slightly crispy. Remove from heat and drain grease.
• Return to heat and add onion. Cook until the onion starts to become tender.
• Add broth, potatoes, and creamed corn then bring chowder to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes (or just until potatoes are tender).
• Add salt and pepper to taste, serve warm.

Notes

*You could substitute some of the chicken broth for milk or cream if you want a creamier soup.
