Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Stir in the corn kernels, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Simmer for another 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the chowder to heat through without boiling.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Ladle the corn chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
