Ingredients:
- 4 large corn cobs (or 2 cups of frozen corn)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon of thyme (dried or fresh)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives or green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the corn. If using fresh corn, carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Reserve the cobs for added flavor in the soup.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, corn kernels, thyme, and broth. If you’re using the cobs, add them to the pot as well for extra flavor.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for around 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the corn cobs and discard. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. For a thicker consistency, you can blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender or transfer it to a standard blender in batches.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives or green onions as desired. Enjoy your creamy corn chowder as a perfect starter or a comforting main dish!
