  1. If you want to make a really good corn chowder blend the corn and liquid together then strain it and cook everything in that. Creates a nice thick chowder with great corn flavor. I don’t usually make them it with cheese so you might have to make some adjustments.

    Oh and reserve some corn so there’s still some bits in there.

  2. Now you need to try Ham Chowder. Is almost identical only less corn and boiled the ham bone. Great use for leftover holiday ham

  3. Missed the bacon pieces held in reserve…Top each bowl 🥣 as served with bacon bits.

    Can also add in some stripped chicken for more protein as a meal…"Chicken Corn Chowd'ah" as we say up here in Maine.

  5. My grandmother made corn chowder for my mom and her siblings on winter afternoons when they were growing up. It became a common cold weather soup in our house when I was a kid, and I still follow the same recipe as they used. We use ham instead of bacon, frozen corn instead of canned, heavy cream instead of milk, and leftover mashed potatoes to help thicken it. We also use mashed potatoes to thicken our Northern Bean soup (recipe found in the 1979 Betty Crocker cookbook). Leftover mashed potatoes get put in containers and frozen to be used in soups later. We typically serve our soups with French bread or Johnny Cake (honey sweetened corn bread).

  6. Try half and half added at the end. Milk is too easy to scald when cooked that long. Also it helps control the thickness of the soup better. Great looking recipe. I enjoy your channel. And now for something completely different…

  7. I basically did a cheat code version of this on Christmas, I took a package of bear creek cheddar potatoe soup mix added some chicken bouillon powder, microwave bacon and frozen bag of corn. It was done in less than,10 minutes

  8. Thank you for your honesty when something fails. I watched your video twice so I could get the sequence of ingredients correct. I batch cook so the quantity is fine for 2 people, allows for many single servings later using the Souper cubes and freezing the leftovers. Also thanks for the added “manly” opinion on the fragrances. I love your style and enjoy the added extra content. You keep it real when you toss things across the kitchen into the sink. We all do it.

  9. Commenting before seeing you make your chowder. I have a potato soup recipe from a famiky friend that I haven't made in many years. I do make corn chowder from scratch on the stovetop. That recipe I found via Pinterest and have tweaked it a little bit because my husband didn't like it with bacon. I had created a recipe that I used to do in the crockpot several years ago but I didn't write it down and let too much time pass and forgot it. I am so mad over that! I do not remember how I thickened it, other than using an immersion blender to help with the texture. Sadly, the immersion blender ruined the last pot I ever made of that soup by all the oil coming out of the motor and getting in my soup! I was so upset!

  10. You really don’t need flour or cheese for corn chowder. Less calories and fat, the starch in the potatoes will help thicken or you could add another can of creamed corn. Try chives or green onion for topping.
