Corn Chowder

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices pepper bacon
  • 1 medium white onion diced
  • 2 large russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups frozen FLAV-R-PAC® Whole Kernel Corn
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Chop bacon slices into ¼” pieces. Sauté on medium heat until crispy. Using slotted spoon, remove bacon pieces from pan and place onto a paper towel to dry. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in pan, drain excess drippings.
  • Return pan to medium heat. Sauté onion in bacon drippings for 5-6 minutes, until translucent. Add potatoes and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add chicken stock and water; bring to a light boil. Simmer until potatoes are tender.
  • Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the liquid until a creamy texture is achieved. (Alternatively, carefully transfer half of the hot liquid to a blender, using a large ladle. Briefly puree the mixture, then return it to the pan.) Add FLAV-R-PAC® Corn and simmer for 10 minutes on medium low heat.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crispy bacon and cilantro or parsley garnishes.
