This corn chowder simmers both cream-style corn and whole kernel corn with chicken and bacon in a cream base for a richly delicious dish.

Tina's Corn Chowder Ingredients

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain most of the grease from the skillet and return to medium-high heat.
Saute celery, onion, and carrots with the bacon in the hot skillet until tender, about 5 minutes; add flour, stir, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stream chicken stock into the skillet while whisking to incorporate with the flour mixture, scraping sides of the skillet to assure complete integration. Add chicken, cream-style corn, whole kernel corn, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir cream into the mixture. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the chicken and corn is hot, 3 to 4 minutes.

Substituted FF half-and-half for the heavy whipping cream (sorry, simply cant handle that in my diet), otherwise, followed the recipe to the letter. Love the flavor that the bacon brings, but I thought it was too thin for a "chowder." To be fair, that may not have been the case had I used the heavy whipping cream. I did thicken a little, but it still wasnt as creamy as I would have liked. BUT...it did taste good, so I consider it a success
