Two bowls of bacon and sweetcorn chowder in black and white patterned bowls.
Jump to Recipe

This bacon and sweetcorn chowder recipe is from the Olive magazine website.  

The end result is a creamy, hearty soup that's packed with sweetcorn, potato and crisp bacon. Made with milk rather than cream, it's also surprisingly low in calories. A quick warming supper for two and is easily doubled if you need to make more.

Tip

  • This bacon and sweetcorn chowder recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for more people – I doubled it to make it for 4.
