CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER WITH GREEN CHILIS AND BACON

Chicken Corn Chowder With Green Chilis and Bacon image

This is a perfect late summer dish when corn is the best and its cool enough to roast a chicken, and use the leftovers in soup ; ) I used a home made broth, made from: 5 corn cobs, 1 chicken carcass, 3 small leeks, 4 carrots, 4 celery stalks, one onion, one head of garlic, fresh herbs and spices. Just a little salt. Its a very corn flavored broth perfect for this base. This recipe was inspired by The Pioneer Woman's "Corn Chowder with Chilies" http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/10/corn-chowder-with-chilies/

Ingredients

5 ears corn, cut off the cob (mine were grilled in husk)
1 1/2 cups roasted chicken meat, shredded (or whatever you have for left overs)
1 yellow onion, chopped
6 small red potatoes, cubed
3 large celery ribs, chopped
4 -5 garlic cloves, of minced, to taste
2 (4 ounce) cans green chilies
6 slices low-sodium bacon, chopped
2 cups 1% low-fat milk
1/2 cup light cream
1 cup water
3 cups low sodium chicken broth, or regular chicken broth
1/2 cup cornmeal, finely ground or masa harina flour
1 -2 tablespoon white flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper, you like (I used cayenne, coarse black and white)
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

Prep garlic, onion, potatoes, celery together onto a large plate and put aside.
Chop up bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium low heat until well done. Bacon will soften during soup cooking.
Without draining drippings, add your chopped vegetables and cook until onions begin to soften.
Over your pan, sift white flour beginning with 1 tbs until all the renderings are absorbed and a light coating on flour has appeared.
Add stock.
Bring to a low simmer and add your spices. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. During this time add your chicken and corn.
At this time you might have to transfer to a stock pot. Add 1/2 cup light cream and start with one cup of milk. Return to a simmer.
Separately, mix 1/4 cup corn meal and 1/2 cup of water. This is to be added to your chowder next for flavor and thickening.
Depending on the consistency you like, add the rest of your milk and corn meal mixture. Add milk to make it thinner, and corn meal mix to make it thicker. Or both. The cornmeal will be visible in the soup, but if you have "fine" corn meal, you will not feel it.
Simmer for 20 minutes until potatoes are soft. Serve.

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
Two 7-ounce cans chopped green chiles
5 ears corn, kernels sliced off (2 1/2 to 3 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 1/3 cups chicken stock or broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 heaping cup grated Monterey Jack
1 heaping cup grated pepper jack
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup sliced green onions

Steps:

Set a 6-quart multi-cooker to the saute setting and add the butter. Add the bacon, onions and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the green chiles, corn and garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add 3 cups of the chicken stock.
In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 1/3 cup chicken stock. Add to the multi-cooker and stir well. Cover and position the vent to the sealing setting. Set the multi-cooker to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. When the time is up, carefully quick release the steam (it takes about 3 minutes), then remove the lid.
Mix in the heavy cream. Stir in the cheeses until they have melted completely. Check the seasoning; add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately garnished with the green onions.
