Easy Corn Chowder Recipe
This is the perfect comfort food recipe to take advantage of fresh summer corn because juicy kernels of sweet corn are plentiful in every bite of this easy and creamy chowder recipe. However, if you want to make my easy corn chowder recipe with frozen corn (or canned corn) when it’s cold and there fresh corn isn’t seasonal, you can definitely do so. Apart from the corn kernels which adds a little crunch and freshness, there’s both smokey sliced kielbasa and crispy crumbled bacon which contribute to this chowder being somewhat smoky and extremely flavorful! Russet potatoes naturally thicken this bacon corn chowder and to give it an over-the-top decadence, heavy cream is the finishing touch. This is a one-pot chowder recipe that’s ready in 45 minutes. Whether you want to serve it as a meal and trust me, you can – it’s very satisfying and filling. Or serve it as starter before a meal or entree, but I guarantee that everyone is going to lick their bowl clean!

A dinnertime favorite that’s perfect for busy nights!! In the Freezer: I prefer to NOT freeze recipes that have cream or dairy in them. However, being that this uses heavy cream (high fat content, helpful here), the chowder will keep airtight in the freezer for up to 3 months. Take care thawing and reheating it. To Reheat: I use my microwave for quickness and ease and reheat my leftovers for about 30 seconds on high, or as needed. But you can use your stove, whatever is best suited for you.
