edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
I picked up some sweet corn from a farmer's market this weekend and I want to try making corn chowder, or maybe corn and chicken chowder tonight.[p]I've read a few recipes online. I might grill the corn and follow one of them, and maybe cook some boneless chicken thighs or breasts on the Egg and add it to the chowder. Anyone have any good recipes or tips for this?

    BluesnBBQ,
    i just wing it, but here in pennsylvania dutch country it is common place to add bacon and some potato to chicken corn chowder. i cook bacon in soup pot and remove, leave the fat, saute onion in bacon fat, crisp up the chicken thigh skin on the egg and then add them to the soup pot with water salt pepper celery parsnip turnip and parsly simmer til vegs are soft, strain stock, pick out chicken meat and discard everything else. add fresh celery carrot potato dice grilled corn and grilled diced red pepper and crumbled bacon to stock. cook till vegs are almost done add milk [1/2 stock 1/2 milk] and corn starch to thicken a bit.
    let us know what yoyu decide and how it turns out

    Richard Fl,
    Your instructions talk about flour and potatoes but I don't see either in the ingredients list. How much of each?

    bill,[p]I think I'm going to try a combination of what you posted with some ingredients/techniques I read about online.[p]Thanks![p]-Steve
  • JackE,[p]Thanks for the head's up! I have been doing it for so long I can not remember to add all items, must be age. The stick of butter will take about 1/3-1/2 cup flour. The roux is not made very dark coppery like in gumbo. and the potatoes cube about 1 inch square and add as many as you like

  • BluesnBBQ,[p]Here's a quick corn soup.[p]1 can cream of potato soup
    1 can chicken broth
    1 can creamed corn
    1/2 cup whole milk ( or cream if you want thicker soup )
    Salt and pepper[p]Mix all together, bring to boil. Serve in bowl and top with chopped green onions and crumbled bacon.[p]Not too bad when your in a hurry.[p]Can add smoked chicken. I sometimes add chili powder and a can of black beans to get a southwest variation.[p][p]

    Richard Fl,
    This is my recipe pretty much.
    However, for c'pny, you can add baby shrimps and small scallops. I bothered to make a main course subsequently with such a meal and it was a total waste, as all anyone wanted was the chowder. [p]
