Fresh Corn Chowder is one of those soups that feels both light and cozy — sweet corn, tender potatoes, creamy broth, and just enough savory depth to keep you going back for another spoonful.
🌽 Fresh Corn Chowder
📝 Ingredients
- 6 ears fresh corn (kernels cut off; cobs saved)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk or half-and-half
- ½ cup heavy cream (optional, for richness)
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives
👩🍳 Directions
1️⃣ Build the base
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Sauté onion until soft (4–5 minutes). Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
2️⃣ Boost the corn flavor (secret step!)
Add broth and the corn cobs to the pot. Simmer 10–15 minutes to infuse that sweet corn flavor. Remove and discard cobs.
3️⃣ Add the good stuff
Stir in potatoes, corn kernels, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Simmer 15–20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
4️⃣ Make it creamy
Stir in milk and cream. Heat gently (don’t boil).
5️⃣ Optional texture upgrade
Blend 1–2 cups of the soup and stir back in for a thicker, velvety chowder.
Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
🔥 Flavor Add-Ons
- Crispy bacon bits
- Smoked paprika
- A splash of lime juice for brightness
- Diced red bell pepper for color
- Jalapeño for a little kick
This tastes like something you’d get at a seaside café in Maine during peak corn season.
