Chef Bec's Kickin' Corn Chowder

Chef Bec's Kickin' Corn Chowder

This isn't your average corn chowder! Creamy goodness...with a nice tingle for your tongue. Make it using fresh corn niblets and you can't go wrong. If you use frozen niblets, defrost & drain well.

Ingredients

4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into pieces
1 medium red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 Cup all-purpose flour
6 Cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 Cups heavy cream
2 Idaho potatoes peeled and diced
3-4 Cups fresh corn niblets (or frozen/defrosted)
2 Teaspoons cayenne pepper
TT (to taste) kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 Cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Directions

1In a soup pot, cook the bacon on medium low heat, until it's rendered down (crispy). Set on paper towel to drain.
2Reserve 2 tsp of the bacon grease and use it along with the butter to sauté the thyme, onions and garlic over medium heat. Cook until the vegetables are good and soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
3Dust the vegetables with flour and stir to coat everything well. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil.
4Add the cream and the potatoes, then bring to a boil and boil hard for about 7 minutes, until the potatoes break down (this will help to thicken the soup and give it a good texture).
5Cut the corn kernels off the cob (or use frozen corn that's been well thawed and drained) and add to the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste (add cayenne pepper for a special kick) and simmer until the corn is soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon, reserving some for garnish, if desired. ENJOY!
