Creamy chicken corn chowder with sweet yellow and white corn, tender potatoes, and shredded chicken in a rich broth.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 small carrot, finely diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 russet potatoes, diced
  • 2 cooked rotisserie chicken breast halves, shredded
  • 1.5 cups white corn kernels
  • 1.5 cups yellow corn kernels
  • 4 cups chicken stock, divided
  • 2.5 cups half-and-half
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; cook and stir in the hot butter until slightly softened, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Mix flour into the mixture until a paste forms. Cook until the flour is lightly browned and gives off a toasty aroma, about 5 minutes. Be attentive as flour can burn quickly. Remove saucepan from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Combine potatoes, chicken, white and yellow corn, and 3 cups of stock in a large soup pot, stirring occasionally over medium heat.
  • Combine 1 cup of stock with the vegetables and flour mixture, whisk until well mixed. Stir this into the soup pot and simmer. Cook and stir until thickened, around 5 minutes.
  • Combine the half-and-half, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper with the chowder. Bring to a boil, then let it simmer on low until the potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
