5 sprigs thyme
2.5 mL (½ tsp) tarragon

Method:
In a heavy bottomed pot, brown the bacon.
Then stir in the peppers, onion, and corn; continue frying until the onion has softened.
Stir in the herbs, chicken broth, and potatoes; cover and simmer until potatoes are fork tender.

This summer (June 2023) I'm flying in a 2,086nm fundraiser for Hope Air, an organisation that helps lower income Canadians or those who live in remote areas access healthcare by providing flights (through private pilots and airlines) to larger urban centres.

soups and casseroles, cream of the bottom shelf, a family staple

I grew up on chowder made with canned milk and when I started making my own I switched to heavy cream because I thought that was more sophisticated somehow. But my tastes weren't more sophisticated so I went back to canned milk and I'm all the better for it 😉

I love how you promote cooking as a method, and not a strict recipe. That never dawned on me until I started working as a line cook, and most people don't seem to understand it but that's exactly how you should do things at home.

Glen, this was dinner tonight! And for us, I added cauliflower instead of potatoes because that's what I had! Brilliant approach to cooking.

[zonacrs]

Glen teaching method vs. recipe as always.

Love this channel!

[olivemiller]

Looks Great, My Kind Of Meal On A Nasty Day, Great Job!

[michaelstevens]

As Winter is still hanging around this sounds like a supper.

[isabellejeakins]

Looks so delish. Perfect for our crazy April weather. Many thanks from down the 401, Kingston ON

[kbjerke]

You had me at *bacon.* Thanks, Glen! Looks good for a rainy, drizzly day. (Like today!)

[lanceharsh]

Brings great memories growing up in the 70's and early 80's. Didn't have much but chowders like this kept home as home. And easy to stretch if unexpected company came by. Thanks for sharing🤠👍👍👍

[carolreimers]

You just made my favorite "throw it at the pot" soup! It's a tasty way to use up leftovers.

[tomrwills]

Sounds great. We started kid's baseball and this would be great to cook ahead for those busy nights.

[gsomers]

Lovely. I "owned the kitchen" a few weeks ago when the family was lamenting the empty state of the pantry. I slapped together what we had and made "stuff in a pan" that knocked their socks off. Thanks for the inspiration!

[susanmacdonald]

That looks really good! And every time I hear the word chowder, in my head I'm saying "chowda!" I used to watch the Simpsons a lot.

[markholm]

In a soup I have made, I toasted the frozen corn on a sheet pan in the broiler before adding it to the soup.

[gnollman]

Mmm, Summer Savory is such a good ingredient for soups and stews, really uncommon these days, too. I try to keep some on hand to use on some old family recipes, but it's ridiculously hard to find in stores down here in the States where I live. I usually have to special order it online to get more.

[keithrowe]

Very nicely done Glenn, the smell must be totally awesome- you’ve given me some ideas to play on your recipe! Cheers, 😎👍🪇👍🇨🇦

[mollybeee]

This was a summer meal growing up, used a bit of salt pork instead of bacon and fresh picked corn and potatoes. I add whatever other veggies I have and make it a veggie chowder, carrots, green beans, celery and peas are all things I've thrown in.

[TamarLitvot]

Where I grew up, chowder is a type of soup!
