Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter
  • 1 Medium Carrot, finely diced
  • 2 Celery Stalks, diced
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white corn kernels
  • 1 1/2 cups yellow corn kernels
  • 8 small to medium red potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cooked rotisserie chicken breasts, skin off and shredded
  • 5 cups chicken stock, divided
  • 2 1/2 cups half and half
  • Pinch of Nutmeg
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Garnish with Bacon, Cheese, Chives, and Corn Kernels Optional

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large stock pot over medium heat.
  • Once the butter is melted, stir in the carrot, celery, onion and garlic and continue to cook until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the flour into the vegetables to make a roux (paste). Continue to stir regularly and cook for about 5 minutes until it has turned light brown and has a slightly toasted smell.
  • Pour in 1 cup of stock and whisk until smooth, making sure to get any cooked flour off of the bottom of the pot.
  • Add in the white and yellow corn, potatoes, chicken and remaining 4 cups of stock and stir until well combined. Bring the soup to a simmer.
  • Stir in the half-and-half, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir often.
  • Finally, serve with any or all of the optional garnishes and enjoy!

Notes

Vegetarian: If you are wanting a vegetarian option simply remove the chicken and replace the chicken stock to a vegetarian stock along with removing the optional bacon as garnish and you still get a delicious bowl of Corn Chowder!
