Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 1.0 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2.0 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4.0 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1.0 cup heavy cream
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2.0 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2.0 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste pepper
  • 0.0 optional crispy bacon bits
  • 0.0 optional avocado slices
  • 0.0 optional additional herbs

Instructions
 

  • Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  • Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced potatoes and corn kernels, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Add Broth & Seasoning: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, then add the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Creamy Finish: Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chowder to thicken slightly.
  • Blend for Extra Creaminess (optional): For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the chowder (or transfer half to a blender and blend before adding it back).
  • Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and top with your favorite toppings like crispy bacon, avocado, or more fresh herbs for added freshness.
