Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Potatoes

    Stir in the minced garlic and diced potatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. 3

    Add Corn and Broth

    Add the corn kernels and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Blend the Chowder

    For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the chowder, or transfer half to a blender and blend until smooth. Return it to the pot.

  5. 5

    Add Cream and Seasonings

    Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the corn chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
