Ben -
I've made some corn chowder that knocked our socks off. I start with the
master - Julia Child - this is an adaptation from "The Way to Cook"
2/3 cup diced double smoked bacon (Schaller & Weber) <Julia uses salt pork>
1 tbls butter
2 cups sliced onions
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 pound baking potatoes, diced
1/2 pound small red potatoes, diced
salt & pepper to taste
2 cups milk or light cream
2 1/2 to 3 cups corn
2 bay leaves
some habaneros - as many finely chopped as you like
Slowly sauté the bacon in the butter until brown. Strain & reserve the
bacon. Sauté the onions in the rendered bacon goodness until soft. Add the
potatoes & stir around for a minute or two. Then add the corn. Fresh off
the cob would be good, otherwise frozen's good. If you want it really
creamy add a can of cream style corn. Stir for another couple of minutes.
Add the habs, bay leaves, bacon & the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, turn
down & simmer on low until the potatoes are just tender. You can put this
in the fridge at this point & hold it for several days, if needed.
Otherwise - add the milk or light cream. Heat through & ENJOY. Yum.
As we like to say around our household ..
Don't worry.. be habby.
Dan & Helen
