Winter Chowder: Just 5 ingredients. Corn and potatoes make this thick soup incredibly filling.

🌽🥔 5-Ingredient Winter Corn & Potato Chowder

Ingredients

• 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

• 1 cup milk or cream

Optional: salt & pepper to taste, fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook the aromatics
   In a large pot, sauté onion in a little butter or oil until soft and fragrant (2–3 minutes).

2. Add potatoes and broth
   Add diced potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer 10–15 minutes until potatoes are tender.

3. Add corn
   Stir in corn kernels and simmer another 5 minutes.

4. Blend slightly
   Use an immersion blender to gently mash some of the potatoes and corn — this gives a creamy, thick texture without needing flour or cream. Leave some chunks for bite.

5. Finish with milk/cream
   Stir in milk or cream. Heat gently, do not boil, just until warm.

6. Season & serve
   Add salt & pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley or chives if you like.

Tips & Variations

• For extra richness, use half-and-half or full cream.

• Add bacon bits or cheddar cheese for a twist.

• For vegan, use coconut milk or cashew cream and vegetable broth.
