Print Recipe

This Creamy Corn Chowder Soup is a comforting dish that combines sweet corn and rich creaminess, perfect for chilly evenings. Each spoonful is filled with tender potatoes and vibrant bell peppers, making it a delightful meal that feels like home.

Ingredients

  • Fresh corn (or frozen/canned corn)
  • Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • Yellow onion (or shallots)
  • Fresh garlic (or garlic powder)
  • Vegetable broth (or chicken broth/homemade broth)
  • Heavy cream (or half-and-half/coconut milk/cashew cream)
  • Bacon or ham (or turkey bacon/beef bacon/smoked beef sausage)
  • Fresh thyme (or dried thyme)
  • Chives or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by shucking the corn and cutting the kernels off the cob. Dice the potatoes, onion, and garlic while measuring out your broth and cream.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the potatoes and corn: Stir in the diced potatoes and corn kernels. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the corn to slightly caramelize for better flavor.
  4. Pour in the broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot, bringing everything to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Blend for creaminess: If you prefer a smoother chowder, use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup for a creamy texture, leaving some chunks for substance. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
  6. Add cream and seasonings: Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the chowder to heat through for another 5 minutes on low heat, but do not let it boil.
  7. Garnish and serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for an added pop of color and flavor.

Nutrition

Keywords: For the best flavor, use fresh corn when in season. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or celery for extra texture and nutrition. If you want a bit of heat, consider adding cayenne pepper or jalapeño.
