A creamy and comforting sweet corn chowder with tender potatoes. This easy, one-pot recipe is perfect for a cozy family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups peeled and diced potatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the corn, broth, diced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  4. If you prefer a thicker chowder, whisk together the milk and flour in a small bowl until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the simmering chowder. Cook, stirring constantly, for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with crumbled bacon (if using) and fresh chives or parsley.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, you can blend about 1/3 of the soup before adding the milk.
  • This chowder can be made ahead and reheated. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.
  • If freezing, cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • Consider this a great alternative to some meal planning services when you want a hearty, homemade meal.
