This tasty corn-based recipe can easily be prepared year-round, but it’s even better during corn-roast season! It features fresh herbs, bacon and a delicious sour cream sauce, enough to impress anyone you serve it to!
We agree that the “chowder” part of its name is kind of an invitation to enjoy it all bundled up and cozy next to the fireplace, but this recipe is also an excellent choice for a dinner party on the patio or at the campsite during the warmer months!

A few tips
To give your broth an even richer corn flavour, add the cores that you’ve saved after taking the kernels off the cob. Not in corn season right now? You can also use frozen corn kernels from home or the store as a dipper.
Have some leftover toppings and broth after the meal? Turn them into a delicious soup! If the taste of the broth seems a bit too intense, add water to soften the flavours.
