How to make Emergency Corn Chowder Soup

Here’s how this goes down:

1. sear bacon strips – chop ’em later;

2. open 2 cans, tip them into the pot;

3. use the empty cans to measure out the liquids (milk and broth/stock)

4. dice a potato and throw that in; and

5. mix cornflour/cornstarch and milk, add to thicken soup;

6. sprinkle with bacon and green onion, ladle into bowls and devour!

Dinner. Done. 3 minutes effort. 12 minute cook!

When you’ve got the time, it’s truly worth making Corn Chowder from scratch using fresh corn. Use this Emergency Corn Chowder for all the other times!

Customisations!

I’ve kept this corn soup simple, yet hearty enough to have as a meal.But there’s plenty of customisation options – adding stuff in, making it vegetarian etc.

Here are a few ideas!

• Make it vegetarian – skip the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock.

• No bacon?Sub with ham, or skip it, stir in 1/4 cup parmesan instead to add a hit of savouriness.

• Add chicken – before adding potato, add 1/2 cup of water and 1 chicken breast, simmer with lid on for 10 minutes, then remove chicken and shred. Add potato and proceed with recipe.

• Add salmon – bake seasoned salmon at 180C/350F for 15 minutes, flake then sprinkle across top of soup.

• Add veggies – saute diced veggies in the bacon fat before proceeding with the recipe. Mmmm…. Creamy Vegetable Corn Chowder!

And though this is an Emergency Recipe and one would assume you don’t have time to make bread on this occasion, if you do have the foresight to plan, consider one of these Soup Dunkers.

Soup Dunkers

This corn chowder recipe came into existence after I started my foray into this food blogging world I now call my business. Afteryet another day where I’d been cooking since 7 amyet somehow found myself in a position at 6.30 pm withnothing for dinnerbecause I either:a) gave it all away; b) it was all sweet “stuff”; or c) I’d been working on perfecting a Dan Dan Noodles recipe all day and just can’t face it for dinner.

So it started with a rummage in the pantry, digging out cans of corn, and 15 minutes later (after very little effort on my part), ended with a mighty tasty creamy corn soup that I couldn’t get enough of.

The bacon certainly helps. 😇 – Nagi x
