CORN AND SHRIMP CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine the chicken broth and 1 pound of the corn.
• Bring the broth to a boil; immediately remove the pan from the heat.
• Working in batches, transfer the corn mixture to a blender or food processor and process until the corn is almost pureed but slightly chunky.
• Set aside.
• In a 6- to 8-quart pot over medium heat, saute the bacon pieces until the fat has been rendered and the bacon pieces are golden brown.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon pieces to a platter lined with paper towels to drain.
• Set aside.
• Heat the skillet with the bacon drippings over medium heat and add the onion, bell pepper and celery.
• Cook, stirring, until the vegetables have softened, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the pureed corn mixture along with the remaining 1/2 pound corn kernels, the potatoes, milk, heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat so the chowder is just barely at a simmer.
• Simmer the chowder until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add hot pepper sauce and additional salt to taste, if needed.
• Just before serving, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
• Add some of the shrimp, being careful not to crowd the pan.
• Saute until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
• Repeat with the remaining butter and shrimp.
• Stir the chives and bacon into the hot soup.
• Ladle the soup into serving bowls and add 5 or 6 shrimp to each bowl.
