This is the second in a series…
Corn & Potato Chowder, originally uploaded by meliass.
…of soups I’ve recreated at home after eating them at Panera a few times. First, it was the creamy tomato soup with cheesy croutons. Now it’s their summer corn chowder. I wonder what the next soup I copy from them will be.
I think (I know) my version is a bit healthier than theirs as mine has very little dairy in it.
This has fresh and frozen corn, Yukon Gold potatoes, celery, sweet onions, shallots and red peppers. It was made with chicken stock, thickened with a roux and finished with only a little bit of 2% milk…so it’s a lot healthier than most chowders seem to be. Other than the fact that I topped it with bacon (and green onions).
Soup has kind of turned into the thing I make once a week for us to eat as lunches when there aren’t any other leftovers in the house. Due to this, I’m getting pretty skilled at soup making. I didn’t even use a recipe for this corn and potato chowder…sorry, I had to pat myself on the back. After all, the name of this site is The Boastful Baker.

Hello, I would love to get your version of the Summer Corn Chowder recipe. I am, too, a cooking enthusiast and absolutely love the Panera Summer Corn Chowder soup. I just found your website…you have done a fantastic job with it and great photos, too. Have you considered putting together your own cookbook??
Thanks and happy cooking,
Darren
