Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Serves: 4
Sweet summer corn can't be beat. Highlight it in this chowder along with buttery Yukon Gold potatoes and smoky Canadian bacon.
Ingredients
1 medium uncooked Yukon gold potato
1 spray cooking spray
1/2 cup uncooked celery, chopped
1/4 cup (chopped) uncooked onion, chopped (or 1 large shallot)
4 pieces corn on the cob, kernels removed with a knife
1 cup sweet red pepper, diced
4 oz uncooked Canadian-style bacon, diced
2 cups fat-free skim milk
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste
Instructions
Pierce potato in several places with a fork; microwave on high power until tender, turning over once, about 8 minutes.
Allow to cool; peel and mash.
Meanwhile, coat a large saucepan with cooking spray.
Add celery, onion, corn and red pepper; sauté over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
Stir bacon and milk into saucepan; stir in mashed potato and mix well.
Season with salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce; stir to combine.
Cover and simmer 10 minutes (do not allow to boil).
Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
Notes
Feel free to substitute your favorite fresh vegetables like asparagus and broccoli for the red pepper. Or to save time, substitute 2 cups of frozen corn and 1 cup of frozen, diced bell pepper for the fresh corn and red pepper.
