Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large, diced onion
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 1 large, peeled and diced carrot
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium, peeled and cubed russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 cups, shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 to taste salt
- 1 to taste black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Melt the butter with the olive oil, then add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps.
Add the cubed potatoes, dried thyme, and dried parsley to the pot. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen corn kernels. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Turn the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently, but do not let it boil to prevent curdling.
Taste the chowder and add salt and black pepper as needed.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
