Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 medium potato peeled and diced
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • ½ cup heavy cream optional for richness
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 slices cooked bacon crumbled (optional)

Instructions
 

Melt Butter and Oil

  • Place a large pot on medium heat. Add butter and olive oil. Let them melt slowly. This creates a rich base for the chowder. Stir gently so it does not burn.

Cook Onion and Garlic

  • Add chopped onion to the pot. Cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Then add garlic. Stir for one minute. The smell will become warm and inviting.

Add Potatoes and Corn

  • Now add diced potatoes and corn kernels. Mix everything well. Let them cook together for a few minutes. This helps the flavors blend nicely.

Pour in the Broth

  • Add chicken or vegetable broth to the pot. Stir gently. Bring the mixture to a light boil. Then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Blend for Creamy Texture

  • Take about half of the soup and blend it. Use a blender or immersion blender. Pour it back into the pot. This makes the chowder thick and creamy.

Add Milk and Cream

  • Pour in milk and heavy cream. Stir slowly. Let it cook for another 5 minutes. Do not boil at this stage. It should stay smooth and creamy.

Season the Chowder

  • Add smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. The smoky flavor adds a special touch to the chowder.

Add Final Touches

  • Turn off the heat. Add fresh parsley and crumbled bacon if using. Stir lightly. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for the best flavor
  • Add jalapeños for a spicy kick
  • Use coconut milk for a dairy-free version
  • Blend more soup if you like it thicker
  • Add shredded chicken for extra protein
  • Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes
