For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil to sauté the onion. To add a hint of spice, consider incorporating a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. If you prefer a smoother chowder, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheeses.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
In a large pot over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crisp, approximately 10 minutes. Drain off most of the grease, reserving about 1 tablespoon in the pot. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
02
Step
15 mins
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Incorporate the cubed potatoes and cook until they begin to soften and turn translucent, around 10 minutes more.
03
Step
30 mins
Pour in the chicken broth, and season with oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, roughly 30 minutes.
04
Step
10 mins
Stir in the cream-style corn and the drained whole kernel corn. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
05
Step
5 mins
Reduce the heat to low. Gently stir in the heavy cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and shredded Cheddar cheese until the cheeses are fully melted and the soup is heated through, being careful not to boil. Remove from the heat and serve immediately, garnishing with the reserved crumbled bacon.
