Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
Dairy
- 1 cup heavy cream
Others
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Chop the onion finely and set aside with the corn kernels.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes, to develop a flavorful base.
- Simmer Vegetables: Add the diced potatoes, corn kernels, and Cajun seasoning to the pot. Pour in the broth and stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Finish with Cream: Stir in the heavy cream slowly while continuously stirring. Allow the chowder to gently thicken for about 5 minutes without boiling to avoid curdling.
- Season to Taste: Taste the chowder and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but frozen works well too.
- For a thicker chowder, mash a few potatoes against the side of the pot before adding cream.
- Add cooked bacon or sausage for a non-vegetarian twist.
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to control the level of spiciness.
- This chowder can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
