What you need:

  • 6 potatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 a medium onion, diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 cup of bacon bits
  • 1 can of cream corn
  • 1/2 cup of milk

How to make Homemade Corn Chowder

Start back by slicing potatoes, I slice mine thin for a few different reasons: cook through faster, and as the smaller pieces break up, your chowder gets a little thicker – something I learned from a great co-worker years ago.

Homemade Corn Chowder

Dice your onion, throw them in a large pot (soup pot) with your potatoes. Just barely cover your potatoes with water.

Add in salt and pepper to taste.

Add in 1 tsp of celery salt and a handful or two of bacon bits, we prefer Hormel Real Bacon bits. If we have it, I also like to dice some leftover ham and toss it in. It is amazing!

Cook under potatoes are just tender.

Once your potatoes are cooked, ladle out about a cup of water, you want the water level to be under the potatoes.

Add in half a cup of milk, and a can of cream corn.

Bring to a boil over low to medium heat, don’t rush it and keep stirring it, or you’ll end up with scolded milk, brunt corn chowder, neither of which you want.

Once it has come to a boil remove from heat.

Serve warm with a slice of thick bread, or thin sliced toast with butter.
