Ingredients
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Bay leaf
- 1
- Dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup
- Milk
- 2 cups
- Chicken broth
- 4 cups
- Fresh corn kernels
- 4 cups
- Potatoes
- 2 cups, diced
- Celery
- 1 cup, diced
- Onion
- 1 cup, diced
- Bacon
- 6 slices, chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
- Add the diced onion and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, fresh corn kernels, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the pot, ensuring to stir constantly to avoid lumps.
- Continue cooking the chowder on low heat for an additional 10 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf.
- Serve the Boston Corn Chowder hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and chopped fresh parsley.
Tips
- For a creamier chowder, you can puree half of the soup and then mix it back into the pot.
- You can substitute fresh corn kernels with frozen or canned corn if fresh is not available.
- Add a dash of hot sauce or smoked paprika for an extra kick.
