Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (or 1 cup frozen corn)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a lighter version)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 strips crispy bacon, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by washing and peeling the potatoes, then chopping them into small cubes. If using fresh corn, cut it off the cob.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent (about 4-5 minutes).
  3. Add diced potatoes and vegetable broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  4. Stir in corn and heavy cream, mixing gently until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme to taste. If using bacon, fold in crispy bits now.
  5. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes before serving hot.

Nutrition

Keywords: For a healthier twist, substitute regular potatoes with sweet potatoes. Feel free to add cooked bacon or ham for extra flavor. To thicken the chowder if too watery, mash some potatoes against the pot's side or mix cornstarch with cold water and stir it in.
