How To Make chicken, squash and corn 'harvest' chowder

  • 1
    Cook bacon in large pot over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
  • 2
    Pour off all but 1/4 cup drippings from pot. Add butter to pot; melt over medium-high heat. Add onions and bell peppers. Sauté until onions are soft, about 10 minutes.
  • 3
    Add flour; stir 2 minutes. Mix in broth & stock, then squash, potatoes, and thyme; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until squash and potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
  • 4
    Add corn and cream. Simmer until corn is tender, about 10 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Bring to simmer before continuing.)
  • 5
    Remove thyme, add chicken, green onions, and 1/2 cup cilantro; simmer 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Place 2 tbs of the bacon in the bottom of the bowl and ladle chowder into bowls; sprinkle with cilantro to taste.

    OPTION SHOWN IN PICTURE: I like to serve the chowder in a hollowed-out acorm squash that was buttered, salted and baked in a 350 oven for 15 minutes.
