Smoky Corn Chowder

"This recipe morphed from a chowder I developed for tinned clams. I loved the chowder without the clams and bacon gave a nice smoky counterpoint to the sweetness of the corn. This recipe is wonderful!"

directions

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp.
  • Remove and put on paper towels to drain.
  • Crumble and reserve.
  • Sweat onions, potatoes, and garlic in the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over moderate heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the wine and cook until the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Add vegetable stock, cream-style and niblet corn and cook another 10 minutes.
  • Add milk, salt, pepper and cream cheese and heat to scalding (careful not to boil as milk will curdle), breaking up any chunks of cream cheese against sides of pot.
  • Stir in bacon.
  • Sprinkle each serving with some of the reserved green onion tops.

  1. Wonderful chowder! Perfect for a cold, rainy weekend like we are having. The addition of the cheese gave the chowder a nice tangy flavor. I used a leek broth and Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
