Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 cups sweet corn kernels
  • 1.0 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2.0 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4.0 cups vegetable broth
  • 1.0 cup whole milk
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1.0 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1.0 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1.0 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes and sweet corn, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Blend for Creaminess: Using an immersion blender, blend part of the chowder until smooth while leaving some chunks for texture (or transfer half to a blender, blend, and return to the pot). This enhances the creaminess without using too much cream.
  • Incorporate Dairy: Stir in the whole milk and heavy cream. Mix well and let it heat through for another 5 minutes on low heat. Adjust the consistency with more broth or milk if it’s too thick.
  • Season the Chowder: Add the thyme, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve and Garnish: Ladle chowder into bowls, garnishing with extra chopped parsley. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne for added color and heat.
  • Enjoy: This chowder is best served warm with crusty bread or crackers for dipping!
