Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Corn Chowder.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.

2. Step 2

   In a large pot, cook the diced bacon over medium-high heat until it turns crispy and golden, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once it’s perfectly crispy, drain the excess fat, but be sure to leave about 2 tablespoons of that delicious bacon grease in the pot for flavor.

   Next, add the chopped potatoes and onion to the pot, stirring occasionally as they cook for about 5 minutes.

   Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, letting all those flavors meld together beautifully.

   Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer.

   Remember to stir it frequently, allowing the potatoes to become tender, which should take around 20 minutes.

    While that’s happening, take a small saucepan and warm the half-and-half until it bubbles gently—just be careful not to let it boil.
