Ingredients​

  • 4 strips bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup carrot, small diced
  • 1 cup celery, finely diced
  • 3 medium potatoes, small diced
  • 1-16 oz bag frozen corn kernels
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme

  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions​

  • Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Leave the bacon fat in the pot.
  • Sautee the chopped onion, carrots, and celery in the bacon fat until tender, about 6 mins.
  • Add the diced potatoes, fresh thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, and corn.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and milk. Simmer for 15 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Make a slurry dissolving the cornstarch in a little water and add it to the simmering chowder. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 mins. Serve hot with crumbled crispy bacon on top.
