Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly, until the flour is golden and well-incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to dissolve the flour and create a smooth base.
Add the diced potato and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the frozen corn and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through.
Pour in the heavy cream, stir to combine, and season with salt and black pepper. Allow the chowder to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is warmed through and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
