    Roasted Corn Chowder

    I had a conversation recently with a friend about Corn Chowder.  She was surprised that I was making a hot soup during the summer.  Up until that moment, I never gave it a second thought, I had always thought of Corn Chowder as a summer recipe. 

    So let me lay out the reason I say it's a summer dish.  Corn grows in my area in the summer.  Yep, that's it.  I know, you were probably looking for some long winded, strong, back up reasoning.  Nope, it's as easy as the fact that fresh corn is in season.

    Was that a huge let down for you?  Sorry.  Well, not entirely sorry, I mean, I'm still going to share with you an awesome recipe for Roasted Corn Chowder, so you are getting something.

    So go ahead and make this any time of year, but I'm telling you, you can't beat the summer corn.  You also can't beat the price of summer corn.  Seriously, there was one day that my brother actually texted me from the grocery store asking me how local farmers could possibly be making any money when corn is on sale 12 for $1.62.  Since I try not to curse here, I am not quoting him directly, just know, he was very upset on behalf of corn farmers.  There may or may not have been some f bombs thrown in. He's very passionate.

    You will notice that this is a Roasted Corn Chowder. If you've never roasted corn before, get with it.  It's the only way I cook my fresh corn these days.  Keep the corn right in the husks, as is.  All you have to do is preheat your oven to 350, put the corn directly on the oven grates and roast 30 minutes.  When you remove the corn from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes and then peel away the husks.  You will be amazed at how easily the silks come off with the husks when the corn is roasted.

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 ears of corn fresh, in husks
    • 4 slices bacon
    • 1 small onion diced
    • 3 carrots chopped
    • 3 celery stalks chopped
    • ¼ teaspoon thyme
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
    • 2 potatoes diced
    • 2 C chicken broth
    • 2 ½ C milk divided
    • ¼ C flour
    • Optional: chopped scallions/green onions for garnish

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350.
    • When oven is preheated, add corn (still in husks) directly on to the oven grates. Roast 30 minutes. Set aside. Once cool enough to handle, peel back husks and silks (they will come away easily after roasting). Hold each ear of corn upright resting on cutting board or shallow bowl and run knife down the sides of ear to remove kernels. Set kernels aside and discard ears.
    • Chop bacon into 1" pieces. Add bacon to large pot, over medium/high heat and cook until crispy (5-8 min). Using a slotted spoon, remove cooked bacon and place on paper towels to drain (keep rendered fat in pan).
    • Return pot back to heat (w/ rendered fat), add onion, carrot and celery. Season with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook until just soft (about 5 minutes), stirring occasionally.
    • Add potatoes and broth to pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork tender.
    • Stir in 1 ½ C milk and continue to simmer.
    • In a small bowl, whisk together flour and remaining milk. Add milk mixture to pot and stir well.
    • Add corn kernels to pot. Check for seasoning, adding salt, pepper and/or thyme as desired.
    • Simmer 10 minutes.
    • Serve warm.

      You have a knack for recipes and photography. I am hypnotized by the pics and find myself trying to make this recipe vegetarian.

        Well thank you for that wonderful compliment, Rini. My sister in law, who is vegetarian, makes corn chowder and just omits the bacon. You could just use a bit of butter to saute the veg.
