Instructions
1. Make the Corn Stock
Cut corn kernels from cobs and set aside. Place bare cobs in a stockpot with chicken broth, milk, and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove and discard cobs.
2. Cook the Bacon
In a large Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
3. Build the Chowder
In the same pot, add onion, carrot, and celery to bacon fat. Cook uncovered until softened, about 7–8 minutes.
4. Simmer
Add potatoes, corn kernels, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour in corn stock. Bring to a light boil, then simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
5. Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls and garnish with reserved bacon and chopped chives. #CornChowder
