Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 16 oz frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups water
- 7-10 small potatoes, diced
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- In a dutch oven or stew pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions. Stir frequently, until onions are translucent.
- Add the dried thyme and frozen corn. Saute until corn starts getting browned (about 5 minutes).
- Add the chicken stock, water, smoked paprika, potatoes, and any vegetables. Cook for 15-20 minutes (or until vegetables are cooked through).
- Add the heavy cream, stir into the soup, and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Plate and top with fresh parsley.
Notes
To make vegan, you can leave out the heavy cream. To get some of the thickness of chowder, just take a cup or two of the soup out and blend it in a blender and then add back to the soup. If you have an immersion blender, you can use that just to blend up a bit of the soup too.
