Categories Chowders

Time 30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

7 cups peeled and diced potatoes (about 7 medium potatoes)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped sweet onion
2 celery ribs, chopped (chop the leaves and include them too)
5 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
1 cup frozen corn, thawed (or 1 cup drained canned corn)
1 cup light cream
1 cup milk
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon chives
1 teaspoon parsley
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or mild cheddar)

Steps:

In a large soup pot, melt butter. Sautee onion and celery in butter over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Add chicken (or vegetable) stock and diced potatoes to pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes or until potatoes are tender (depends on how small you diced them); reduce heat to med-low and add corn and light cream.
In a small bowl, whisk together milk and flour to combine well; add to pot and stir well. Add chives, parsley, salt, pepper and paprika and stir. Heat through.
Reduce heat to low and stir in cheddar cheese. Heat and stir often until cheese has melted and soup has thickened. Serve.

Tips:

For a thicker chowder, use less milk or broth and more potatoes.
To make the chowder ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chowder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat the chowder, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours. Then, heat the chowder over medium heat until it is warmed through.
Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
For a vegetarian version of the chowder, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
To make the chowder gluten-free, use gluten-free flour or cornstarch instead of all-purpose flour.
