Corn Chowda with Bacon

September 2, 2015 by Karen Giebel Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Quite a few years ago I came up with this recipe to make use of some of the sweetest, crunchiest corn in the universe. That would be corn grown in my home state of New York. More specifically, in Western New York. How “big” is corn in New York State? Well, big enough to have its own Festival in the small town of Eden, New York. The Eden Corn Festival attracts people from several States and Canada. Three cheers for The Eden Corn Festival! Of wait, did I just get off track? I did, didn’t I? OK….deep breath and pull focus. I used to give steaming bowls of this to my old neighbor Bill, who then asked for the recipe, made it and said it was the best in the world. Blush. He then passed the recipe on to his son in Georgia. That’s how these recipes go. I hope you like it too. On to the recipe!

Corn Chowda with Bacon

Chock full of sweet, crunchy corn and topped with crispy, crumbled bacon, this bowl of goodness makes great use of the abundant fresh corn found at this time of year! I have served this soup with Oyster crackers or warm Cornbread or even a Hot Fresh Roll and butter. They're all good.
