Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: chop the cauliflower into small florets, dice the onion and celery, mince the garlic, and slice the green onions.
In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pot.
Melt the butter in the same pot with the bacon drippings. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Using an immersion blender, partially blend the mixture in the pot until it reaches your desired texture. You want it to be creamy but still have some whole pieces of cauliflower.
Stir in the frozen corn kernels, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme. Let the chowder simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then ladle the chowder into bowls.
Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting low-carb creamy corn chowder!
