Ingredients

  • 6 cups corn kernels, about 7 cobbs, divided
  • 3 cups chicken broth, (720ml) or chicken stock, divided
  • 4 slices bacon, (95g, 3 ¼ ounces) ½-inch pieces
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion, (145g, 5 ounces), ¼-inch dice
  • ¼ cup diced carrots, (65g, 2 ¼ ounces), ¼-inch dice
  • ¼ cup diced celery, (65g, 2 ¼ ounces), ¼-inch dice
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic, (8g)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped thyme
  • ½ pound russet potatoes, (about 1 ½ cups, 227g, 8 ounces) peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
  • ½ pound red potatoes, (about 1 1/2 cups, 227g, 8 ounces) cut into ½-inch dice
  • 1 cup whole milk, (240ml)
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, (4g)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, as needed for seasoning
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ cup half-and-half, (120ml)
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley, (4g)

Instructions

  • Cut the kernels off the cob and then use a spoon to scrape the excess pulp. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Add 4 cups of corn kernels and 2 cups chicken broth to a blender. Process until smooth, 1 minute on medium speed.
  • Add bacon to a large dutch oven or pot. Heat the pot over medium heat, cook and stir bacon until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until onions are translucent and vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add garlic and thyme, cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Add the remaining 2 cups of corn kernels and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add potatoes, corn puree, 1 cup of chicken broth, milk, salt, pepper, and bay leaf.
  • Bring soup to boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Stir every few minutes and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and discard bay leaf. Stir in the half-and-half and parsley.
  • Taste the corn chowder and season with more salt and pepper as desired.
  • Divide the soup into serving bowls. Top with crispy bacon and parsley.
