Corn Chowder with Bacon and Potatoes - SOUPer Bowl Sunday #1 - a traditional comfort food

[@BrendaJChamberlin]

I cannot believe that I am a 78 year old grandmother native West Virginian that has cooked all my life and I am now learning to cook better from a young man like you. You and Melissa are a blessing. I'm watching every video since I found you. Never had corn chowder but will be making it tomorrow... looks delicious. God bless you both. Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

You cannot imagine how much your comment encourages us. We appreciate you so very much. You have truly blessed us today. Thank you for watching and reaching out to us. May God bless you!

[@jfaulk9205]

I love your show, especially how you lay out all the ingredients before you start cooking. I made your Mexican chicken casserole for our card game tomorrow. We will see how they like it.

[@barbarabothe9219]

Wonderful Chef❤

[@nicelady51]

Corn chowder is a comfort food in the northeast. My mom started hers by sautéing salt pork. I retired to FL 6 yrs ago and I am shocked by how many people have never even heard of corn chowder! The only other thing I do differently is that I use 2 cans of evaporated milk plus some regular milk. I don’t thicken with a slurry, either.

[@lisasuewarren6204]

I will certainly be watching the 6 Souper bowl Sunday series. I love soup in the winter months and now I will have 6 new soups!! Thank you Tom and Melissa

[@karenvanantwerpen4682]

I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found your channel! I have made many of your recipes and I’m very much looking forward to the Souper bowl recipes! You are a blessing to me!

[@RuthWelborn]

I love your terms..fon is the brown bits on the bottom of the pan, but I call it funk...blooming spices is cooking it just a touch. I am 83 and love this corn chowder. So tasty. Can hardly wait till next Sunday.🎉

[@jimmygeorge4268]

I’m a widower now,,,and learning to cook…..I absolutely love your recipes….mainly because you are precise and speak slowly and technical…. Makes it simpler to understand….Thankyou for expertise……GOD BLESS ….

[@deeregirl7356]

Back in 2014 Michigan had a very hard winter, We was snowed in a few days before Valentine's day. we don't go all out for that day because I think we should treat those we love good all year and not just the one day Hallmark tells us to. I went in and wanted to cook my husband a good dinner yet I had very little to pick from in our home due to being snowed in, I seen this recipe pop up On the computer and I had all the items I needed to make it . That was one of the best meals I have ever made my husband for Valentine's day. 🙂

[@OkieJammer2736]

⚘ Melissa really is a great videographer, smooth close-up work, good background and continuity. A PLEASURE to watch her work. Thamk you.

[@gingerholland350]

Wow the corn chowder looks amazingly good. The brown delicious bits at the bottom of the pot was called pan drippings by most of our grandparents. The French call it Fond which translates to “the bottom” or “base”. I can’t wait to try out this chowder. ❤

[@RWhit774]

Yes or “pan scrapings”!

[@CynthiaShanahan-d8c]

My dad was from Kentucky and I love when he made this soup with cornbread. I plan on making some soon

[@judyroy2728]

I love soup ….. I’m on board !!

[@bowed305]

Really looking forward to this SOUPer series. Definitely off to a good start with this one. I'm a lefty here too. My grandmother told my mother to make me change, because that's what they did to my grandmother when she was a child, but my mother said I was just fine the way I was. Yes, it has obstacle sometimes, but it also teaches you to be incredibly adaptable to exist in a world created for righties. I actually like black pepper in my creamy foods because I like to see the black flakes, and I'm one of those who likes a heavy hand with pepper. I'd probably add the cayenne or maybe some hot sauce to it. I like spicy. As always, truly appreciate these videos. Thank you!

[@maryseaman312]

I love the scissors and the bacon. BRILLIANT! I am left-handed. Fortunately for me, my father was left-handed, and my mother had a great love and admiration of him. When the school tried to change my chosen handwriting, my mother challenged them, and they stopped messing with me. Being left-handed has some challenges, considering that everyone assumes the world was designed for right-handed people. HUMPH! I made things work, but in my forties, I went to work at a clothing factory as a machine operator. I worked there for a number of years before I realized that sewing machines were created especially for left-handed people! LOL ... most all of the manipulation of fabric through machine under the needle is done with the left hand. It was an exhilarating realization! Left-handed people are special - - there are only about 10% of the population is left-handed. I could probably go on, but ... LOL

[@RataPerry]

Only left-handed people are in their right minds.

[@marycannon6046]

Tom, I absolutely love the theme of you and Melissa' soup series!

[@jindrasturgill1194]

Looking forward to this SOUPER series with Melissa and Tom!! We are a retired couple who love having a soothing bowl of soup for our late evening meal with a piece of cornbread! So filling, yet not stuffed feeling. Y’all rock! Thanks for sharing.😊🥹

[@anitast-julien7206]

TThank you Tom & Melissa, I made this soup & it was super delicious! I text the recipe to my sister in another city & she made it for her grandchildren & they loved it. J sent my neighbor a bowl for her husband & herself & they loved it. Thank you. Do you know what I can substitute for the heavy cream for a family member who is lactose intolerance? Tnk you, Anita St-Julien

[@RataPerry]

​@@anitast-julien7206 Lactose free whole milk or lactose free canned evaporated milk.

[@Conwaylady]

Thanks for explaining the recipe so well as you cook. It helps so much and Melissa putting recipe under the title.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

You are very welcome. We do appreciate your kind words. Hope you are having a nice Sunday afternoon.

[@stevesmith4051]

Wow, this is almost identical to my mom's recipe for Ham and Corn Chowder, one of my earliest childhood food memories. Before I knew what it was called, as a 6 year old, I used to ask her if she would "make some of the white soup." I'll be 73 at the end of April and to this day I still make it and love it as I have my entire life. Thank you for this video! Something I learned years ago was, as a thickener, instead of using corn starch is to use some instant mashed potatoes, as a thickening agent and really the only thing I use them for, a little bit goes a long way.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

What a great tip! Thanks so much for sharing that with us. Have a great week!

[@sharonholmes4444]

That's interesting! Thanks 😊

[@cheriebirch3332]

I use instant mashed potatoes too! Once (many years ago) I was making tuna salad for sandwiches for my husband's (now ex) lunch for work. I had too much mayo in it so I added instant mashed potatoes to it. Worked like a charm & he really liked them & he had no idea I added the instant mashed potatoes. Plus it thickened it enough to make him 2 filled sandwiches from one small can of tuna.

[@jeankelly368]

Tom and Melissa, i love finding your channel. Your recipes are simple and delicious. Thank you for sharing your favorites with my family. Have a great 2024.

[@CliffHollifield]

Love the soup idea, can't wait for all the recipes. I love how you both are so sweet and respectful of each other!

[@missysue7562]

Everyone is born right handed only the gifted overcome it!

[@RataPerry]

Only left-handed ppl are in their right mind!!!!😅

[@rosemarycarden175]

It certainly looks delicious. I will definitely make this recipe &ike tje way you explain everything. Thanks for sharing this recipe. We're almost neighbors. I'm in NE Tennessee. God Bless. Youve made me hungry😂🎉❤

[@lightgiver7311]

This was one of my favorite soups my father used to make. He never added cayenne pepper, not even sure it was even available or used in Canada in the 60s. His recipe was a little different but he learned his when he worked on ships in the 50s.

[@bonniemiller8499]

I am an 81-year-old widow & have never eaten or made Corn Chowder. I am definitely going to remedy that after watching this video. I very much enjoy watching your other videos and will be trying many of those also.

[@dorothyforrester]

I just love our recipes. I've been a regular follower for several months now, and haven't had a dud recipe yet. This is one I'm thinking of making tonight. From a loyal Canadian

[@Linda-s5j9d]

Love watching you cook! So clear! So simple! I think I can do this…..love soup🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@wandapennington6067]

Sounds SOUPER fun. This looks absolutely delicious

[@lindahays8444]

This is an awesome ideal. Thanks for sharing this.

[@robertlucero7346]

I am a 77 year old widow and now have to cook for myself. Soups have always been a favorite dish, winter or summer, so your ingredients and size of dish will be easy for me. Keep cooking and sharing. Thanks!

[@debbiezombro2839]

Lol sounds like a winner to me souper bowl! Yum yummy!

[@vickipitchford3209]

Love it. You spoiled us with the Christmas recipes. Thank you for sharing your recipes.

[@zullo3529]

There’s nothing could be better on a cold day. We only eat homemade soups. No canned stuff! Except for tomato soup with a grilled cheese. Even then I have to doctor it up with Italian seasoning and some fresh basil, chives, a little sugar etc. thanks Tom and Melissa 🥣🌽🥔🙏🙏🙏

[@lavonnetollison724]

Love this!

[@annamolly1906]

Just made this. Absolutely delicious. Hubby just polished off his third bowl. Great recipe. Thank you! Also just subscribed!

[@billbottoms8295]

Thanks for another great recipe. Starches at their best. Getting snow. What better than a big bowl of chowder.

[@kayellwy]

I made this for the family tonight and it was another hit. I doubled the recipe and used a whole pound of bacon because who doesn't like bacon. I did use half a cup of cornstarch because I doubled the recipe, but it didn't thicken like yours does. It was still wonderful! The family (six of us) have loved the White Chicken Chili, the Poor Man's Soup and now the Corn Chowder. I just made the fourth batch of Fire Crackers today because those are so addictive for everyone, especially me. I'm watching your tutorials looking for good food I can make for them (I live with my youngest son and his family) and contribute to the good food we sit down to at our table. Thank you for so generously sharing your recipes and tutorials! ❤

[@LindaJohnson-o2r]

This was such a good idea. A different soup on Sunday’s.

[@r.c.4016]

I have never had corn chowder. This will be fun to try.😊

[@Conwaylady]

It's delicious!!! Try it!!!

[@pattyhannam2986]

You could make it the night before then when you get home from work, just heat it up! Most soups are even better if they set over nite! Yummmmmmm !💕💕💕👍👍👍🍵🍵🍵

[@maryalexis7328]

Melissa, soups are my favorite too.

[@n8sot]

I think you nailed it!!! I was trying to think of a side......I was almost tjhinking some rye bread. But I think the mexican cornbread sounds way better!!!! Thanks!!

Really glad I came across your Souper bowl corn chowder recipe. I have been wanting to make corn chowder. I love soup year round. Looking forward to future posts from you and Melissa.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Hope you enjoy it and all the ones in this series. We are excited about it. Thank you so much for watching our channel.

[@NancyMoffitt]

Hi Tom and Melissa. Thank you for the yummy chowder recipe. After all my years of cooking I have discovered a trick to keep your eyes from burning while chopping onions that acutually works. I have learned that onions seek out liquid, the closest being your eyes. Wet a paper towel and lay it near your cutting board while chopping onions. Eye burn solved! :-)

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Great tip! I have never heard that, and I can't wait to ask Tom if he has. But that sounds like a very reasonable explanation and solution.

[@aletabowling4389]

This sounds delicious! I love the Souper idea! I have a pot of your Vegetable Beef Barley Soup on the stove now. 😊

[@lavonnetollison724]

I’m in on this! Thanks! ❤

Great idea to make soup every Sunday! I make soup twice a week to have with lunch but only recently started making creamy ones so looking forward to seeing what types you will make, starting with this corn chowder! By the way the "stuff" on the bottom of the pot is called Fond.

[@debbiebohannan5340]

Great Souper series! I love Come Sit at My Table.

[@paisley1134]

I love homemade soup and it’s my favorite fall/ winter food. I try to make a pot at least every other week . Soup and salad or soup and sandwich is a cold weather staple here.

[@wyominghome4857]

I had to watch this again to see when you return the bacon to the pot (right after the cream!) I love making hearty soups in the winter when it's cold.

[@vickiescholl9453]

That looks for good for a cold January day.

[@barbarawilliams6978]

Soup is good any day of the year but especially in the fall and winter months. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing these recipes! I will probably make this soup one day this week. I visualize cheese toast with it. Happy New Year!

[@Cowtownmama1951]

Yes I will join you for Souper Sundays:) ALWAYS good to have more soup recipes ♥️

[@elizabethpharr7660]

Soups are our favorite.

[@GrandmaPatty49]

My husband received a recipe from a coworker years ago for a delicious corn chowder. He said it was from a restaurant in New York City, and we love it. It makes a batch for 10-12 people, though, so I will try your recipe for the 2 of us.

[@antoinettegraves62]

Thanks guys. You are helping!

[@johnvance3801]

I just made the Corn Chowder and it was outstanding (I did use a little more bacon). I really like your videos because you are so organized. I like that you have all of the ingredients lined up in the order that you add them to the recipe. I also made your cornbread which went perfectly with the chowder. I already have about 10 more of your recipes lined up to try. Thank you for sharing these great recipes.

[@gaylatompkins1093]

Corn chowder has been a favorite in our home forever. I remember my mother making this soup when I was a child. The only difference in my recipe is I use one can shoe peg corn and one can of cream style corn.
