Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 slices bacon, diced
• 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced bacon and cook until crisp and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pot, and set the bacon aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Step 3

To the same pot, add the chopped onions and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes, corn kernels, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup partially, leaving some chunks for texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with the crispy bacon and optional fresh parsley. Serve warm.
