Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 cups frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux, and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, whisking to combine and prevent lumps.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the frozen corn kernels, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and paprika. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the chowder is heated through and slightly thickened.
Taste the chowder and adjust seasonings if needed.
Ladle the corn chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
