Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Chopped chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until it releases a fragrant aroma.
  3. Combine Vegetables and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes and corn, then pour in the broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer: Reduce heat to low and simmer the chowder for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Blend Chowder: Use an immersion blender to puree the chowder until smooth or leave it chunky based on your preference.
  6. Add Cream and Season: Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm through gently without boiling.
  7. Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn depending on availability.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker chowder, mash a few potatoes before blending.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • Adding some cooked bacon or smoked paprika can enhance the flavor if you are not vegetarian.
