Hearty Corn Chowder
"EVERYONE in my wife's family is a corn lover, so her mom came up with this wonderful recipe to satisfy their appetites. With the bacon, sausage and potatoes, it's hearty enough to be a one-pot meal, but it's also really good with the chicken."

- 1/2 pound sliced bacon
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion

- 1 cup water
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn

I just made this today with a few additions. I used a bag of frozen O Brien potatoes since I didnt have any fresh potatoes and I also used about 3 cups of chicken stock and 1 pint of heavy cream. I also had one large sweet potato I needed to use up so I peeled and diced that and added it in plus I used one whole 16 oz pkg of diced turkey kielbasa. This soup is so delicious and the sweet potato made it especially good. I would definitely recommend trying it that way. With all of my additions it made a big pot of soup, about 6 quarts and Im looking forward to eating this during the week, So yummy!!
Really good. I used 1.5lbs of yukon gold small potatoes qtrd and left on the skin, for the sausage i used a box of Armour's Brown and Serve spicy, and I added an additional cup of chicken broth because I thought 1C of water just isn't enough for all of that stuff. Lastly, I would recommend keeping the bacon bits on reserve and adding them last as opposed to mixing them in - is especially a better plan if you plan on a reheat!
This was pretty tasty. I wish I would have made a double recipe though because it really doesn't make much.
Yummy! I did make a couple of substitutions because I used what I had on hand. I didn't have the smoked sausage or evaporated milk. I did have bulk hot pork sausage which I browned then drained. I also didn't have evaporated milk but after my sausage was drained I sprinkled it lightly with flour then added 2% milk. I heated till it thickened up. Very good!
Great soup. Used 3 ears of fresh sweet corn. ( cooked ) I had no bacon so I sauted the veggies in some reserved drippings from the sausage. I also thickened mine up with a small amount of corn starch.. I had no creamed corn on hand but my ears of corn rendered more than 2 cups. Very pleasing and it is chunky *I liked the addition of the Dill. Though I did use less.JanieTaste Of Home Volunteer FE
I made this Corn Chowder tonight and we found it to be very good ! We all agreed that this was worth having again ! I did not use the dill weed because I had none . I did add more whole milk to make it more soupy as I was afraid that I would burn it . I served it with ritz crackers .
Omitted the dill. But loved the chowder! It was amazing!
Fantastic recipe. Very easy to throw together and so very tasty. I used Mini Smokies and 3/4 lb of bacon and it's just perfect. My hubby likes it so I know it's good!!
I doubled this recipe and used less dill weed. I also added bacon because my family loves bacon, and subscribe to the "you can never have too much" theory. :)
I made this recipe, this morning for lunch on a hot summer day! I love anything with corn in it and this chowder is out of this world! I love it, I can't wait til my husband try's it! I added 1/2 cup more water to make it a little more soupy but still a great hearty texture! Thanks taste of home for this wonderful recipe!
