This creamy corn chowder is loaded with sweet corn, tender potatoes, and crispy bacon. It's the perfect one-pot meal ready in 45 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon (cut into ½-inch pieces)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 3 ribs celery (diced)
- 2 medium carrots (diced)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
- ¼ cup flour
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 5 cups corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and crispy. Remove the bacon to a bowl, leaving the fat in the pot, and set aside.
- Add the onion, celery, and carrots to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- While stirring constantly, pour in the chicken stock. Add the potatoes, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes until softened.
- Add the corn and cook for 2 minutes, just enough to warm them up.
- Finally, stir in the heavy cream and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with the bacon!
