Hey there, food lovers! Today, I’m super excited to share my recipe for the best Corn Chowder with Pulled Pork. This dish is a perfect blend of flavors and is sure to become your new favorite comfort food. Let’s dive right in!
A Quick and Easy Corn Chowder
This corn chowder is quick and easy to make, perfect for those busy days when you need a hearty meal without spending hours in the kitchen. The base of the chowdery soup is creamy and full of sweet corn goodness. Adding Hatch chiles gives it just a hint of heat, while tomatillos add a tart acidity that brightens up the whole dish.
Pulled Pork in chowder
The real star of this chowder is the smoky pulled pork. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor and makes this chowder incredibly satisfying. If you have any leftover pulled pork from a BBQ or a previous meal, this is the perfect way to use it up.
Perfect Comfort Food
This chowder is perfect for those days when you need some comfort food but chicken noodle just won’t cut it. The combination of creamy corn, spicy chiles, and smoky pork is absolutely irresistible. It was inspired by a soup I used to love at a local restaurant. Sadly, that restaurant shut down during the pandemic, and I’ve been on a mission to recreate that amazing soup ever since. I think I’ve finally nailed it with this recipe!
Serving Suggestions
This chowder is great on its own, but you can also serve it with some tasty sides:
- Crusty Bread: Perfect for dipping and soaking up all that delicious chowder.
- Green Salad: A fresh, crisp salad makes a great contrast to the rich, creamy soup.
- Tortilla Chips: Add some crunch by serving with tortilla chips on the side or crumbled on top.
I hope you give this Corn Chowder with Pulled Pork a try. It’s super easy to make, incredibly delicious, and the ultimate comfort food. Enjoy and happy cooking!
