How to Make A Lighter Corn Chowder

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups vegetable broth, 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels, 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth.
5. Gradually whisk the milk-flour mixture into the simmering corn mixture.
6. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chowder thickens and comes to a gentle simmer (about 2-3 minutes).
7. Cook for 1 additional minute, stirring constantly, to ensure the flour is fully cooked and the chowder has reached your desired consistency.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional) before serving.
