This creamy chowder recipe from Saveur is loaded with sweet summer corn, veggies, and crispy bacon. A perfect addition to a cool summer night meal!  Saveur is an online gourmet, food, wine, and travel magazine, and an all-around great resource to check out.

For this recipe, I used my Pampered Chef Kernel Cutter, Flex+ Multi-Prep Set, and 8-qt. (7.6-L) Nonstick Stock Pot:

Kernel Cutter

The Kernel Cutter’s curved and serrated stainless blade quickly removes kernels from cobs, and the plastic husker blade slices through corn silks and husks. The large ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and easy maneuverability.

Flex+ Multi-Prep Set

3 Cordless Prep Tools in One

Slicing, chopping, grating, pureeing, emulsifying, mixing, and blending doesn’t have to be time-consuming or frustrating. With the Flex+, you get three complete cordless, time-saving prep tools in one: an immersion blender, 6-cup (1.5-L) food processor, and a hand mixer, so you can quickly, effortlessly, and safely whip up whatever you’re making, anytime, anywhere. Just click the power handle to one of the attachments, choose a blade (food processor) or beaters/whisks (hand mixer), pop on one of the batteries, and you’re ready to go. We’ve included two rechargeable batteries to give you about 60 minutes of total run time. The power handle has push-button control for comfortable one-handed operation. Five speeds (three for the hand mixer) easily adjust during use for flexibility and control. Indicator lights show how much battery life is left and the speed you’re using. A safety lock prevents the Flex+ from accidentally turning on.

Immersion Blender

Big jobs or small, its slim size, stainless blade, and cookware-safe design means you control the texture of the foods you blend. You’ll enjoy smooth soups and gravies, and all kinds of sauces such as pesto, tomato, chimichurri, barbecue, dressings, marinades, mayonnaise, milkshakes, and smoothies. It includes a blending container to make homemade mayonnaise and dressings in under two minutes.

6-cup (1.5-L) Food Processor

Get fresh flavor in a flash without breaking a sweat. Choose one of the three blades based on what you’re making. The multiuse blade can cut foods to the size and texture you want, even purees. The grating blade is reversible so you can coarsely or finely grate fresh ingredients in no time. The slicing blade slices and shaves veggies for salads and sautés, potatoes and zucchini for gratins, and apples or any firm produce. (Please note, the slicing blade won’t slice cheese.)

Hand Mixer

A baker’s and breakfast maker’s best friend. Mix, beat, incorporate, and whip together eggs, batters, meringues, mashed potatoes, whipped cream, frothy egg whites, and more. Includes two beaters and two whisks.

8-qt. (7.6-L) Nonstick Stock Pot

Batch Cooking With Hassle-Free Cleanup

When big batches of pasta, soup, stew, or chili are on the menu, reach for this 8-qt. (7.6-L) nonstick stock pot. It’s never been easier to batch cook or prep for family get-togethers and special events. With high-quality nonstick coatings inside and out, this pot releases food effortlessly—and because it’s dishwasher-safe, cleanup is easy.

Ingredients

  • 8 ears corn, shucked
  • 8 slices bacon, cut into pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 1.5 pounds new potatoes peeled cut into ½-inch pieces
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup basil thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions

Remove the husks from the corn and cut kernels from cobs using the Kernel Cutter and set kernels and cobs aside.

In large stock pot, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 12 minutes. Remove 2/3 of the bacon with slotted spoon from pan and set aside.  Remove approximately three tablespoons of the bacon drippings to a heatproof bowl; leave the rest in the pot.

Add the butter, celery, onions, garlic, thyme and bay leaf to pot, stirring to coat with drippings.  Cover and cook @ six minutes, or until the onion softens, stirring occasionally.

Add corn kernels, cobs, milk, and potatoes; bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer, cooking @25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, stir occasionally.

Discard bay leaf and cobs. Use an immersion blender to puree some (not all) of the soup to thicken.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately and top with bacon and sliced basil.

Cool and delicious, this Watermelon Gazpacho from Ali over at Gimme Some Oven is the most refreshing soup you’ll ever have, and full of summer flavors! You can learn more about Ali here. Her recipes are so wonderful, and this one is my new favorite! Mint is not something I use regularly, but I tried it for this recipe, and it was very good, although I may try a different herb next time, and leave some seeds from the jalapeño in, for a bit of extra heat. For this recipe, I (of course) used my Deluxe Cooking Blender:

Best Blender for Smoothies—and Soup!

Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Our innovative blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks. With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

Product Details

  • 6-cup capacity for hot food.
  • 7-cup capacity for cold food.
  • Includes: Tamper, Dual-Sided Cleaning Brush, Strainer Bag, Boil-Over Guard, and the Deluxe Cooking Blender Cooking Guide which includes more than 60 recipes.
  • 8 preprogrammed settings including: Smoothie, Alt Milk, Grind, Soup, Heated Puree, Sauce, Jam, and Custom Blend.
  • 17½” x 9½” x 9¾”.
  • 2 peak horsepower†

A couple of things I did differently, specifically because of my blender, is that I used an English cucumber as it is seedless, and I did NOT peel it, since our blender can take care of the peel with ease. I also used cherry tomatoes instead of Roma tomatoes, and did not reove the seeds. Click here to get your Deluxe Cooking Blender today.  You’ll be glad you did. Let’s jump right in! Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Sherry Vinegar
  • 1.5 cups fresh watermelon, cubed
  • 9-ounces cherry tomatoes
  • 8-ounces English cucumber, cut into large chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and quartered
  • ½ red onion peeled
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1 slice bread crusts removed quartered
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves loosely packed
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Toppings (optional)

  • Croutons
  • Fresh mint chopped
  • Olive oil
  • diced tomatoes
  • diced red onion
  • diced cucumber
  • diced red pepper

Instructions

Peel garlic and onion. Cut watermelon, pepper and cucumber.

Add all ingredients (minus garnish) to the Deluxe Cooking Blender in the order listed. Replace and lock the lid. Press the wheel  to start blending on the CUSTOM BLEND setting and increase to speed 9 for 20 seconds, or until ingredients are combined.

Ham and Corn Chowder – Salt and Lavender (Video)

Creamy and comforting, this Ham and Corn Chowder is chock full of delicious ham, tender potatoes and, of course, sweet corn!  You’ll want to make this recipe time and again, it’s that good! This recipe comes from Natasha over at Salt and Lavender.  You can learn more about Natasha here.  I had leftover ham from my Brown Sugar Honey Ham, and usually make a ham and bean soup, but was all out of beans.  I found this recipe, and oh my goodness – it was so easy to make and really filling.  I will definitely check back in with Natasha, since this recipe was so delicious! 

For this recipe, I used my Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid:

Braising Pan and Skillet in One

Meet the perfect combination of skillet and Dutch oven. With a wide cooking surface, shallow sides, and oven-to-table design, whether a busy weeknight or relaxing weekend, you can braise, bake, sauté, simmer, or roast whatever’s on the menu. The self-basting lid adds juices back into whatever you’re cooking for added moisture and flavor.

This classic gray skillet has a light-colored enameled interior, which means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and it lets you easily see food browning so you can avoid scorching it. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this skillet has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry dishes from the oven right to your dinner table. Plus, cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.
