Creamy Corn Potato Chowder
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, finely chopped 1 rib celery, finely chopped
5 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 large all-purpose potato, peeled and diced
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 cup heavy cream (or use half and half)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh dill or parsley for garnish, chopped (I used dried chives)
Melt the butter in a large saucepan or medium soup pot. Stir in the onion and celery. Partially cover the pan and cook the vegetables over moderate heat for 9 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken stock, corn, potato, and salt and bring the mixture to a low boil. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for about 7 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and flour. Stir the mixture into the soup with the pepper. Bring the soup back to a low boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with herbs.
Hey Aimee,
ReplyDeleteAlan's cousin Suzanne here... I really love your ideas that you've posted. We will be trying the Creamy Corn Potato Chowder this week! Hope ya'll are doing well!
Suzanne, so great to hear from you. I just know you will love the chowder. Get a fresh crusty loaf of bread to go with it.
