A creamy and hearty sweet corn chowder, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • Optional garnishes: cooked bacon, fresh chives, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add corn and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, and flour until smooth.
  6. Gradually stir the milk mixture into the simmering soup.
  7. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chowder thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Do not boil.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished as desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the corn kernels against the side of the pot before serving.
  • This chowder is delicious served with crusty bread.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream for a lighter version.
