Bacon makes this creamy dish—with just the right amount of heat—the ultimate summer comfort food. Don’t substitute frozen corn here; the flavor of this quick chowder depends on freshly cut kernels.

Preparation

Cook the bacon in a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off and discard all but 2 Tbs. of the bacon fat.
Return the Dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the onion, half of the scallions, the celery, bell pepper, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chipotle powder and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the half-and-half and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the grated potato, lower the heat to medium, and cook, covered, until the potato is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and transfer to 4 large soup bowls. Garnish with the reserved bacon and scallions, and the cheese, if using, and serve.

Great Chowder. Had Turkey broth in the freezer, used it instead of Chicken broth, Used Paprika, jalapeno and chili powder instead of Chipotle Powder. Will make again

Excellent late summer soup. After making it twice with the 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder, decided it just overpowered the other flavors. A rounded 1/4 teaspoon was more pleasing to us. one could always add more to individual taste.

Love the consistency of this chowder. I added a jalapeo pepper and used paprika, cayenne, and chili powders instead of chipotle. Definitely spicy!

Quick and easy to make. Delish! Even better the day after.
