Ingredients
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic for another minute until fragrant. This step builds the base of flavor.
Add the corn kernels, diced potatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring it to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Lightly mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot to help thicken the chowder. This creates a lovely creamy texture.
Pour in the milk or half-and-half and heat through gently, but do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve warm, garnished with fresh chives if you like for a pop of color and flavor.
This chowder tastes even better the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It reheats beautifully on the stovetop.
