Creamy Sweet Corn Chowder
- Unique blend of sweet corn and creamy textures.
- Perfect for a quick yet delicious summer meal.
- Vegetarian-friendly and easily customizable.
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chives for garnish (optional)
How to Make
To make this creamy sweet corn chowder, start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes. Next, stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, allowing the potatoes to soften for about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender, add in the sweet corn and thyme. Stir well, then partially blend the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier consistency, leaving some whole corn and potato chunks for texture. Finally, stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes before serving!
Tips
- For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
- Consider adding bell peppers for extra flavor and color.
Make-Ahead
This chowder can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat on the stovetop until warmed through.
Storing
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Ensure it’s cooled completely before sealing. Will keep for approximately 3-4 days.
Freezing
This soup freezes well! Portion it into freezer-safe containers. It can last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just be mindful that the texture may change slightly upon reheating.
Reheating
Reheat the chowder on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. If frozen, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your creamy sweet corn chowder with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal. You may also add croutons or more chives for added texture and flavor.
