Ingredients for Ann S Corn Chowder

  • Cream Style Corn
  • Onion
  • 4 cups peeled and diced potatoes
  • 4 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter

How to Make Ann S Corn Chowder

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 4 cups of peeled and diced potatoes and 4 cups of water or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn (thawed if frozen), 2 cups of milk or cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Heat through gently, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Do not boil.
  5. Top each serving with crumbled bacon (about 1 tablespoon per serving) and a dollop of sour cream (about 1 tablespoon per serving), if desired.
  6. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping. This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings or for freezing leftovers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
