Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups canned vegetable stock
2 cups heavy cream
2 Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced
6 ears corn
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until the vegetables are good and soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Dust the vegetables with flour and stir to coat everything well. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add the cream and the potatoes, bring to a boil and boil hard for about 7 minutes, until the potatoes break down (this will help to thicken the soup and give it a good texture).

Cut the corn kernels off the cob and add to the soup. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the corn is soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the parsley and give it another little drink of olive oil. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

I tweaked the recipe just a little by first roasting the corn. Very good!

Everyone LOVES when it's Corn Chowder night!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I follow the recipe, but to serve as a main course for super-hungry guys, I add shredded rotisserie chicken. This adds a... little umph. I serve it with the "Almost Famous Cheddar Biscuits" and I never have leftovers! Thanks, Tyler:) Read more

Not Bad, But AWESOME Once I Adjusted To My Taste!!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I have had corn chowder previously at an establishment here in Miami that had a bit of a sweet taste to it and contained... carrots and potatoes. It's my absolute fave! And when I was looking on here for a recipe for corn chowder I was looking to duplicate that soup. I will start by saying that I had read these reviews and saw that some people added celery as well, so I added carrots and celery to this recipe. I couldn't find veggie stock at my local supermarket, so I substituted chicken stock for the veggie stock. Additionally, I did not want to complicate my life with the corn ears. Since I like my corn chowder sweet, I just bought two cans of the sweet cream corn and substituted that for the corn ears and added 2 tablespoons of sugar after adding the salt and pepper. And I must say...the soup was FANTASTIC!!! It was my first time making soup and it was not just a success, but it was DELICIOUS!!Read more

Creamy chowder
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

IMy husband made this chowder. It was OK. If you are not a fan of Thyme, then this is not the chowder for you. Or, leave... it out. It is very easy to make though. I think Rosemary would be great in this chowder. I liked everything else about the recipe except for the Thyme. Too bad that was all I could taste.Read more

Delish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this soup for a bunch of my husbands friends one day after a long hard days work....this soup was a crowd pleaser! ... Served it with some warm frocaccia bread and it was filling. One of the comments on here said it was bland....well it kinda was until I added crushed red pepper...that spiced it up quite a bit and gave it a nice flavor. I also added more thyme than the recipe called for. I will def. be making this soup again! Delish!!!Read more
