    Winter is a great time for a good chicken corn chowder recipe. I've made a few different types of chowder over the years. From a classic New England Clam Chowder to different types of corn chowder. All of them have a few basic ingredients that you can use to create your own favorite combination.

    Chowders are a perfect comfort-food dish, with hearty ingredients and a delicious smoky flavor.

    Just about every basic chowder recipe starts with bacon. I like to buy pre-cooked bacon to cut down on the fat, and the mess.

    Chopped carrots onion and celery

    Another basic ingredient is the combination of onion, celery, and carrots. This essential trinity is a great basic for just about any soup, and in this one, they are cooked with the fat from the bacon. Other times you could just use butter or any vegetable oil.

    A third basic ingredient that is often key to a good chowder, is the addition of a little milk or cream. This gives the chowder a nice richness.
