Off The Menu: Murrieta’s Signature Corn Chowder with Smoked Bacon and Shrimp

We drove to Canmore recently to judge Murrieta’s Rioja wine and tapas pairing (which won Highly Recommended!), and stayed for lunch before the drive back.  

We love a good chowder, and a hearty corn chowder with smoky bacon, shrimp, and a little kick of spice, really hits the spot, especially with wonderful views of the mountains too when you have visitors from abroad. We’ve since been back again with visitors from Italy who really enjoyed it too! 

We’re very grateful to Murrieta’s and Chefs Paul Stoffel and Mitchell Carey for generously sharing their recipe – we can tell you, it’s worth the drive!
