Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Wild mushrooms (such as shiitake, oyster, or chanterelle), roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 5 cups Chicken stock
- 2 cups Smoked chicken, shredded or chopped
- 2 cups Fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the wild mushrooms to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the smoked chicken, corn kernels, heavy cream, salt, ground black pepper, thyme leaves, and smoked paprika. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
