Ingredients
  

  • 6 strips bacon diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium-sized white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 baby carrots coined
  • 2 small stalks celery diced
  • 2 cups fresh sweet corn cut from the cob
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups yukon golden potatoes diced
  • chicken from one small rotisserie chicken removed from bone
  • 2 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Optional: 1 cup water if your soup is too thick

Instructions
 

  • Start by cooking the diced bacon in a drizzle of olive oil. Once fully cooked and crispy, remove from the pan and set aside.
  • The next step in the cooking process is to sautee the veggies. Start with another drizzle of olive oil and saute the white onion. After about 2-3 minutes, add in the minced garlic, sweet corn, jalapeño, carrots, and celery.
  • Let those saute for about 5 more minutes and add then add the potatoes and broth.
  • At this point, everything should be covered by the broth. If not, add some more until everything is covered. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
  • Blend: The trick to making a creamy chowder is to blend half of the soup before adding the chicken and bacon. At this step, add about 1/4 to 1/2 of the soup (depending on how thick you prefer it) to a heat-safe blender and pulse until smooth. Once smooth, add it back into the pot and mix.
  • After blended and combined, add in the seasonings, cooked bacon, and diced rotisserie chicken. Mix until everything is well incorporated. Let it sit on low heat for a few minutes to combine all of the flavors.
  • Optional: Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt to add more creaminess and more protein.
  • Garnish with more bacon, parsley, green onions, or greek yogurt. Enjoy!
