Ingredients:
- 4 cups of fresh or frozen corn
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes and corn to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree part of the chowder for a creamy texture while keeping some corn and potato chunks for a heartier feel. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer a portion to a traditional blender, then return to the pot.
- Stir in the heavy cream and smoked paprika, allowing it to warm through for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
