Fresh-Off-The-Cob Corn Chowder
Summer is not typically the time to try a new soup recipe...
but one that involves delicious fresh corn in season is another matter.

I am so glad that the cooking group (Cook the Book Fridays) selected this
one -so I didn't miss out on the phenomenal flavor from the ripe corn.
We opted out of the fennel recommendation so this ended up a bacon,
potato and corn soup. Along with various seasonings. What's not to love ?

This soup is a keeper and I will be putting it through its paces in the
cold weather, likely with my favorite Trader Joes frozen corn, as well.
Since the cobs from fresh corn are used to flavor the soup and then
removed, I know that out of season there will be a difference in flavor
(plus texture) so all the more reason to make soup in the summer.
Delicious !

I just LOVE your photos!!! So adorable.
ReplyDeleteThis was a really good recipe, and you're right, about the only reason to make soup in the heat of the summer - that farm-fresh corn!!
Great photos indeed! I agree as well that this will be a great soup, though different, in the winter. It was so filling for us that it'd be well worth cooking it again and sacrificing some flavor and texture!
ReplyDeleteA great chowder recipe and really delicious. Hopefully I will be making this again soon while there is still fresh corn around.
ReplyDeleteYou really put the fresh summer corns in the right context — against the farm stands in the countryside. This chowder is a keeper for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! And your chowder looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYes, this was pretty good. Lucky you to have truly farm fresh produce near.

It's early Sunday morning and your Vermont farm stand photos are making me smile. Is this the same market where the corn sign says, "Feel 'em, don't peel 'em." Whoops. I'm a peeler. Never again. This was a delicious soup, I thought, although a bit labor intensive. This winter, when I have a bit more time (summer is hectic, right?), I'm also going to try Trader Joe's frozen roasted corn (with all the add-ins.) Don't you just love these market days?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I love farm stands! Sounds like your chowder was a combination of ingredients from your favorite places.
ReplyDeleteI love the farm stand....wish we had more of those here in Southern California!
