Description

A rich and creamy corn chowder recipe. This soup is hearty and comforting, perfect for a cool evening. It features sweet corn, potatoes, and a creamy broth, with optional cheese for extra flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: Chopped fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add corn kernels, diced potatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  5. Carefully transfer about half of the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Return the pureed soup to the pot.
  6. Stir in milk and heavy cream. Heat gently, but do not boil.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. If using cheese, stir it in until melted.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with chives if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker chowder, you can use less broth or add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) towards the end of cooking.
  • This chowder can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will meld even further overnight.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like diced celery or bell peppers along with the onions.
