Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

How to Make Creamy Corn Chowder

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Once the potatoes are cooked, add the corn kernels and dried thyme. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. You can also transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend it, and then return it to the pot.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes, but do not let it boil.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a deeper flavor, consider adding a bay leaf while simmering the soup and remove it before serving.
• If you prefer a chunkier chowder, reserve some of the corn and potatoes before blending and add them back in afterward.
• For a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños while sautéing the onions.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked bacon or ham for a smoky flavor.
• Incorporate diced bell peppers for extra color and crunch.
• Use coconut milk instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free option.
• Swap out the vegetable broth for chicken broth for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or rolls for dipping.
• A light salad with vinaigrette to balance the richness of the chowder.
• Grilled cheese sandwiches for the ultimate comfort meal.
