Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream or milk
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped chives or parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Cook the Potatoes and Corn: Add the diced potatoes, corn, and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream or milk and fresh thyme. Heat gently over low heat without bringing it to a boil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired. Enjoy hot with crusty bread.
