Description
A comforting bowl of chowder featuring sweet corn, crispy turkey bacon, and a creamy texture that delights with every spoonful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels
- 4 slices turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once it’s perfectly golden, remove it from the pot and set aside, leaving those delicious drippings behind.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes translucent, filling your kitchen with heavenly aromas. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute — the scent will be irresistible!
- Now, it’s time to add the diced potatoes and fresh corn kernels. Pour in the broth to bring it all together. Raise the heat to bring everything to a boil, then lower it to a gentle simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to integrate beautifully into the broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the chowder simmer for another 5 minutes — this is where the magic happens!
- Serve the chowder hot, garnished with crispy turkey bacon and a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley to add a splash of color and flavor.
