Corn Chowder Ii Recipe For Zucchini

ZUCCHINI CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a large heavy-duty bottom stockpot or dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add chopped bacon and cook until bacon renders its fat and begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add onion, garlic, and thyme; cook until vegetables begin to soften, stirring couple times, about 5 minutes.
• Add potatoes and broth.
• Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, then lower the heat back to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are halfway cooked.
• Add zucchini and corn and heavy cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste, and simmer for additional 8-12 minutes or until the vegetables are completely tender.
• Remove half of the chowder and puree the remaining chowder with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir the remaining mixture back into the pot.
• Salt and pepper to taste. Serve garnished with fresh chopped parsley, jalapeno and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, optional.

FRESH CORN AND ZUCCHINI SAUTE

Steps:

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Cook and stir onion in the melted butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Cut kernels from the ears of corn. Add zucchini and corn; cook and stir until zucchini is tender, about 8 minutes. Season with sea salt and pepper.

CORN CHOWDER II

Steps:

• While the first two ingredients are boiling, fry down the bacon in a large pot. Remove from heat.
• Lift out and drain off the remaining bacon fat (I save it to fry up onions and garlic for chili). Return bacon to pot.
• Add drained potatoes/onions and remaining ingredients in the pot. Place over med-low heat.
• Heat through; stirring often (try not to boil) - and serve.
• NOTES:
• -I use 2 or 3 extra strips of bacon - adds a bit more flavour. More flavour is added by the stuff in the bottom of the pot too.
• -I use a smaller tin of cream corn and a similar size tin of niblet corn.
• -Reduce pepper to 1/2 teaspoon if kids are involved.
• -Milk can be increased to 1 cup or more to achieve desired consistency.
• -Substitute reconstituted powdered milk as a cost sav ing measure.
• -To make a richer chowder, use half-and-half (or heavier cream) for the initial measure of milk.
• -This keeps well - if there is any left over!
• NEW NOTE:
• (Oct 1999) I had someone write to say how similar this recipe and theirs (from Norway) were. The difference was that they boiled the potatoes without the onion, but cooked up the onion with the bacon "to mix the onions and bacon flavours". They used 1/2 pound or more of bacon for the "double batch" (8 servings). I tried it this way and I am a convert!

• Pour half of the soup in a blender add the remaining ingredients and blend. Mix all together in the casserole until everything is well combined and let the soup sit for 10 minutes over low heat. Ready to serve Buen provecho!
