Corn, Bacon and Cod Chowder

In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.

In the same pot with the bacon fat, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened. Add the corn kernels and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the chowder simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

While the chowder is simmering, prepare the Trident Seafoods Beer Battered Cod according to the package instructions until crispy. Set aside.

Finish the chowder: Stir in the milk or half-and-half, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the chowder simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Chop the cooked Trident Seafoods Beer Battered Cod into bite-sized pieces. Add the cod and cooked bacon to the chowder and stir gently to combine, reserving a little of both for garnish. Ladle the chowder into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley, bacon, and more Trident Seafoods Beer Battered Cod. Enjoy!
