Introduction

When cooler weather rolls in, our bodies crave comforting, nourishing meals that also support our health and well-being. This Creamy Corn & Bacon Chowder not only delivers cozy fall flavor—it’s specifically crafted to help balance hormones with a thoughtful selection of anti-inflammatory, fiber-rich, and healthy fat ingredients. With a silky dairy-free base and naturally gluten-free ingredients, it’s a delicious, crowd-pleasing dish for anyone looking to feel their best this season.

Why Creamy Corn & Bacon Chowder Is Perfect For Fall Hormone Balance

This chowder harnesses the power of seasonal corn, gut-friendly veggies, smoky bacon, and an extra kick of hormone-supportive nutrients. Sweet corn and root vegetables provide energy-sustaining fiber, while bacon adds not only flavor but satiating protein. Coconut milk steps in for traditional cream, providing healthy fats that support hormone production and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. This combination makes each spoonful both comforting and deeply nourishing.

The Ingredients: Nourishing, Satisfying, Hormone-Balancing

The synergy between these wholesome ingredients works wonders for your hormones. Fiber from vegetables supports digestion and healthy estrogen elimination, while the healthy fats in coconut milk help keep your skin, cycles, and energy in check. Onions and garlic pack extra flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits, and fresh herbs complete the fall flavor profile.

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
2. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
3. Add the diced potatoes, corn, thyme, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
4. Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
5. Stir in coconut milk. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree about a third of the soup for extra creaminess (optional), then return to the pot.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in half the bacon, reserving the rest for garnish.
7. Ladle chowder into bowls. Top with remaining bacon, chopped fresh parsley, and extra cracked pepper if desired.
