How to Make A New Corn Chowder

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring 6 cups of broth and 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and chopped onion. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  3. Stir in the corn and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for at least 15 minutes, or until the flavors have melded and the chowder has thickened slightly. Do not boil.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
