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.

Taste and Simplicity
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thanks Tyler! 1. During summer/season...we follow recipe exactly. 2. During winter, we buy all corn from the grocery... store. There are 1 or 2 suppliers with the best corn. Suggestion...serve each bowl with a small piece of the corn on cob itself. Ciabatta bread or toasted sourdough go great1Read more

Family Favorite
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

My family has been making corn chowder for years and years...we use evaporated milk, half & half or whole milk, creamed... corn, frozen corn...start with a little salt pork for the onions, potatoes then cover with water....bring to a boil until potatoes are soft...add milk, cream, all the corn and get it up to a hot temp, then add a stick of butter....salt, pepper...I just made it for Halloween and added cauliflower, cooked, smashed to thicken the chowder, and freshly grated parm cheese and a handful of cheddar cheese... had 35 people say they loved it...you can use a few of the soft potatoes, smashed to thicken as well...I serve with oyster crackers on top.Read more

No flavor whatsoever!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I am a huge fam of Tyler's, but I followed the directions exactly, and this soup was completely flavorless. Maybe it was the... vegetable stock, I don't know. I would look elsewhere for a corn chowder recipe. We were entertaining and this was a complete disappointment...Read more
