Potato Bacon Corn Chowder

This recipe is mine that I have worked on for a few years. People love it. This is a great recipe to enjoy with a nice sourdough bread.

Step: 1

Place bacon in a large heavy-bottom pot and cook over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Add onions and celery to bacon and stir until coated in bacon grease; add garlic.

Step: 2

Pour 1 quart water over onion mixture and cover pot; steam vegetables until partially tender, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 quart water and cream; reduce heat to medium.

Step: 3

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir flour into melted butter and cook until mixture forms a paste. Add potatoes to flour-butter paste and cook until paste is lightly browned and the raw flavor of flour is gone, about 5 minutes. Slowly stir potato mixture into vegetable and cream mixture and cook until soup is smooth, potatoes are tender, and temperature is 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), 30 to 40 minutes.

Step: 4

Cook and stir corn and red bell pepper together in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Mix corn mixture into soup and season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

The name of “stew” can process to 2 time a dish and a make dishes method. Stewing makes not fast cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a flavorful liquid . It’s similar to braising, but it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being cooked whole , and the liquid completely covers the essential in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a cold , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor goes way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those soft and chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
