Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring continuously, and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps.
Add the diced potatoes, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Stir in the cooked chicken and corn kernels, letting them heat through for about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir until everything is well combined.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
