    Chicken Corn Chowder

    Feb 22, 2017 · 2 Comments

    Do you ever accidentally over-buy sale produce? You get home from the grocery store feeling like the responsible, money-saving adult that you are only to look in your pantry and realize that you have neither the space to store, nor the willpower to consume the 10-pounds of sweet potatoes you just bought. But the whole bag was $2.99! You didn't want to lose money by not buying it.

    I get that. I am a compulsive clearance produce purchaser. I am also a person who strongly dislikes letting food go to waste. Combine these traits, and you can bet I've had coleslaw with dinner for a week straight, apples in and on everything, and maybe even broccoli for breakfast a time or two.

    I'll admit that not all of my last ditch produce concoctions have been delicious (or even edible... I'm looking at you, lentil loaf), but here's one that pretty much guarantees I will stock my freezer with corn anytime the opportunity presents itself: Chicken Corn Chowder.

    You begin this soup by cooking bacon, which is unarguably the best way to start any recipe.

    Then you brown chicken in the bacon fat. Then you add onions, celery, and carrots to the bacony chicken fat that's now in your pot. Next, you add garlic. Because garlic belongs in just about everything. Then comes the diced potatoes and corn.

    The whole thing is then covered with water, and simmers away until it's all cooked and flavorful and delicious. Finally, you add cream. Because you just can't have chowder without it. And top your bowl with the bacon you cooked, of course. And scallions. Maybe some cheddar cheese, too.

    My love for soup is largely based on it being a vessel for toppings.
