Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh corn kernels (or substitute with frozen corn)

2 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced into ½-inch pieces

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative)

1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

½ cup diced bell pepper (optional for a pop of color)

Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Base: In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and diced bell pepper, if you choose to include it. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and softened. Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Cook the Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes, fresh or frozen corn kernels, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.

      Add Broth: Slowly pour in the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, cover the pot and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

        Blend the Chowder (Optional): For a creamier texture, you can use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the chowder directly in the pot. If using a regular blender, carefully transfer about half of the chowder into the blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot. Caution: Be careful with hot liquids to avoid splatter!

          Incorporate Cream: Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream) and allow the chowder to heat through for about 5 more minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

            Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and generously garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley. Enjoy your hearty and comforting dish, perfect for any occasion!
