Then to the pan, add corn and herbs. Add stock to the pan and simmer for 12-15 minutes. Toward the end of the cooking add shrimps. Stir in cream. After adding cream, don’t cook for too long. Stir in the bacon. And it is done. It has been raining here every other day. It is cloudy and gloomy. Glad that I had made a big batch of this Fresh Corn Chowder. We dunked some rustic baguette to the creamy broth. It was satisfying. My husband declared it one of the best soups to date. He happily had this for two days in a row. I am telling this because he is not a fan of corn, be it in any form. Though Seafood is commonly used in chowder, you will come across a lot of variation. Corn, Chicken, Bacon, and even vegetables. Nevertheless, which variation you make, chowder is delicious and extremely satisfying. Along with the cream, vegetables like Potato, when gets cooked helps to thicken the chowder.
Shrimp Fresh Corn Bacon Onion Garlic Roux Cream Herb and seasoning Salt & Pepper – as per taste and tolerance
I have not used any potatoes. The roux and cream are enough to thicken the soup. You can use frozen corn and shrimp in this recipe as well. Start with preparing the ingredients. Clean corn and devein shrimps. I prefer keeping the tail on because it adds much more flavor to the broth. If using frozen shrimp, keep it out on the kitchen counter to thaw. When the prep is done, begin with cooking bacon and make them brown and crispy. It is tempting to let go of that bacon fat, but the flavor would be overpowering. So remove extra bacon fat from the pan. The next step is to saute the shrimp in butter till it turns pink. Remove from the pan and keep aside. (This step is completely optional) To the same pan, add minced garlic and onion. Cook until it has softened and no more raw smell is there. We are not browning onions too much because it would change the color of the soup. Next is to make the roux.
