Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice

  • 1 small onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup) 2 ribs celery, strings removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice (3/4 cup) 8 sprigs thyme Salt and freshly ground pepper 3 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock, skimmed of fat 3 ears yellow corn, kernels removed (about 2 1/2 cups) 5 ounces small fingerling potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices 1 poblano chile, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice 1 1/2 cups half-and-half

Directions

Place bacon in small stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon is deep golden brown and all the fat has been rendered, about 4 minutes. Remove bacon with slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel, and set aside. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.

Add onions, celery, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste to stockpot; cook over medium-low heat until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 15 minutes.

Add corn, potatoes, and chile; cook until potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard thyme. Add half-and-half, and simmer until soup is hot. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with the reserved crisp bacon pieces.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/14/2013   Amazing recipe!! I added a cup more each of stock and cream and added 2 pounds of jumbo lump crab meat. Never too much crab...I'm from Maryland. I also added cornstarch because I wanted a thicker chowder. It was amazing!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/15/2012   Delicious recipe! I used white sweet potatoes since that's what I had on hand. Worked well playing with the sweetness of the corn. I added a tablespoon of corn starch to the half and half before adding. It just gave a slight creamier texture. Love the green chiles and bacon!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/13/2010   I used four slices of bacon and it did make four teaspoons. I really liked this fresh tasting chowder with fresh corn. The potatoes took a little longer to cook than the recipe states. Garnish with some chives for a little punch.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/14/2010   I forgot to add 1/2 tsp kosher salt and pepper to taste. You can also add peeled and deveined shrimp with the corn and bacon cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 5-7 mins. This is a delicious meal, just add a small green salad and some crusty bread. ENJOY1  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/14/2010   .For even more flavor I take the corn cobs and put them in the pot with the sauted onions and celery and the thyme sprigs add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Remove corn cobs and thyme sprigs add potatoes cook for 12-15 then add corn, bacon and half and half. Heat to low boil and cook for5 min. This is some of the best chowder ever.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/20/2008   I like to add a little bit of sherry to my corn chowder recipes. It smoothes the flavor out and tastes delicious.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/16/2008   seriously Carey, if you can't comment, then don't. People are on here to see what other people thought, not their snide comments.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/14/2008   Are 4 teaspoons of bacons really going to render 2 tablespoons of bacon fat?
