Potato Corn Chowder with Bacon
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 4–5 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3–4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter chowder)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra smokiness)
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for extra richness)
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (Keto Flavour)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy.
- Remove bacon and place on a paper-towel lined plate.
- Keep about 1–2 tbsp of the bacon fat in the pot. (Keto Flavour)
- Sauté the aromatics
- Add the diced onion to the bacon fat and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. (Keto Flavour)
- Simmer the potatoes and corn
- Add the diced potatoes, corn, and broth.
- Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer about 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. (Keto Flavour)
- Blend for creaminess (optional)
- If you want a smoother chowder, use an immersion blender to lightly mash some of the potatoes. You can also transfer about half to a blender, blend, then return it to the pot. (Keto Flavour)
- Finish the soup
- Stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Simmer another 5 minutes until heated through. (Keto Flavour)
- Serve
- Stir most of the cooked bacon back in (reserving some for topping).
- Add butter if you like extra richness.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon and fresh parsley or chives.
- Serve with crusty bread for dipping. (Keto Flavour)
Tips
- For a thicker chowder, lightly mash some cooked potatoes while simmering. (Keto Flavour)
- Use frozen corn year-round if fresh corn isn’t available. (Keto Flavour)
