Hey everyone, hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a special dish, light corn chowder. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I will make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

You'll want to purée a few cups to give the chowder body, while leaving plenty of corn kernels and chopped potatoes whole for variety on the spoon. A few splashes of dairy bring the chowder together — use half-and-half or heavy cream, whatever you have — but add sparingly to keep the chowder light and fresh. This creamy chowder gets its luscious, silky texture not from cream but from pureed cauliflower rice.

The ingredients needed to make Light Corn Chowder:

Instructions to make Light Corn Chowder:
  1. Add diced bacon to cold pot. Set to medium heat and cook until crisp. I leave the cooked bacon in the chowder, but if you prefer, you can remove with slotted spoon to add later.
  2. Add onion and celery to bacon (or bacon grease)and cook until tender.
  3. Add garlic clove and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add corn, broth and seasonings. Simmer until corn is tender.
  5. Add potato flakes and simmer until desired consistency.

Then we used the rendered fat to cook our onion, eliminating the butter from our chowder recipe altoget. Add in thyme and bay leaf and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cool briefly, then peel back the husks and cut the kernels off the cobs. Fresh Corn - I like to use yellow corn because it gives the chowder a nice color but white corn will work fine too.; Butter - this use used for sautéing and of course it's a staple duo with fresh corn.; Bacon - doesn't bacon make everything better? Here it adds an extra little oomph of flavor.
