Easy Sweet Corn Chowder Recipe

This sweet corn chowder features tender corn and potatoes simmered in a creamy broth, creating a rich and satisfying dish. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 6 people.

Ingredients

4 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
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: Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add Corn: Stir in the sweet corn and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
Blend the Chowder: Use an immersion blender to puree part of the chowder for a creamy texture, leaving some corn and potato pieces intact for a chunkier consistency.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently over low heat without bringing it to a boil. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, if using.
Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread.
