The bacon in this corn and kale chowder pairs nicely with the creamy broth and it gives this easy soup recipe a perfect crunch!
This chowder is the perfect year around soup and you’ll pleasantly surprised with how great it tastes made with fresh or frozen corn. I’ve done it both ways when fresh corn wasn’t in season. The crunchiness and saltiness of the bacon pairs well the creaminess of the broth. A tip when cutting the corn off the cob-place in a bowl to collect the kernels.
