Cook this recipe
- vegetable broth-3 cups
- yellow onion-1 medium
- celery-2 stalk
- corn kernels-3 cups
- whole milk-2 cups
- Yukon Gold potatoes-1 1/2 lb
- unsalted butter-3 tablespoons
- all-purpose flour-2 tablespoons
- kosher salt-1 1/2 teaspoons
- dried thyme-1 teaspoon
- black pepper-1/2 teaspoon
Dice the yellow onion, celery, and Yukon Gold potatoes into small, even pieces, then measure the corn kernels, vegetable broth, whole milk, and seasonings.
Keep the knife blade angled away from fingers while dicing vegetables.
In a large heavy pot over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute, coating the vegetables to create a light chowder base.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while scraping the bottom of the pot, then add the potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover partially and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking on the bottom.
Add the corn kernels and whole milk, then simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes until the corn is hot and the chowder is creamy and lightly thickened.
Keep the chowder at a gentle simmer and stir frequently after adding milk to help prevent scorching.
Use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes in the pot, leaving plenty of chunks for a classic chowder texture.
Mash hot potatoes gently to avoid splashing hot chowder.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot once the chowder is chunky, creamy, and steaming.
