Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound bacon, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pot.
  2. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add corn kernels and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in milk, heavy cream, black pepper, and salt. Heat through, but do not boil.
  6. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Ladle chowder into bowls. Top with reserved crispy bacon.

Notes

  • For a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the corn against the side of the pot before adding the milk and cream.
  • Adjust the amount of cheese to your preference.
  • Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
