Bacon Corn Chowder

Creamy & chunky, true comfort food!! Loaded with sausage, bacon & potatoes -perfect!

RECIPE:

10 slices bacon, chopped

1 pound turkey or chicken sausage (optional)

1 large yellow onion, diced

4 large garlic cloves, minced

6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only, minced

2 lbs small red potatoes, diced

¼ cup all purpose flour

6 cups chicken stock

2 cups whole milk

3 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn

1 teaspoon seasoned salt, I use Slap Ya Mama seasoning

Cayenne pepper, to taste

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese- light

Chopped crispy bacon, for topping

Chives, for topping


Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, stirring often. Remove half of the bacon grease from pan. Optional: Set aside a little cooked bacon for topping the soup once finished.

Cook sausage and set aside

Add onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and cook for 30 seconds. 

Add red potatoes and sprinkle flour on top of potatoes. Stir to coat everything well.

Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil and boil about 12 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.

Use a potato masher to roughly mash potatoes once cooked - this makes a thicker chowder. You want to leave some small chunks of potatoes when you are done roughly mashing.

Add the milk and corn to soup. Season with seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 more minutes.

Add cheese and stir to combine. Serve topped with chives, more cheese and crispy bacon!
