With the cooler season nipping at summers heels~ enjoy this fall foodie! Corn is one of summers end most popular picks~ look for fresh bright moist cut ends and heavy plump husks. The Long Island farm stands are bursting with sweet corn as they pluck away at the season’s harvest. Time to give the grill a break and warm up with this sweet hearty chowder loaded with farm fresh produce and its bold bacon flavor. My seasonal trip out east provided us with such sweet fragrance~ the clean fresh sea air and sweet roasting corn. Something amazing happens when you roast your corn ~ you’ll see. 8 ears of farm fresh corn (husks, and silks removed) In a large soup pot cook bacon over medium heat stirring until brown and crispy. Pour out all but 2 T of fat. Add onion, celery and cook until softened. Add potatoes, fresh herbs and spices and stir. Add potatoes and corn. Pour in broth and bring to a boil, then reduce for 30 minutes. Add ½ and ½ and top with fresh herb garnish. Happy Sweet Fall. XO Denise |
