This Corn and Garlic Chowder is a comforting bowl of goodness that brings the classic flavors of summer sweet corn and aromatic garlic together in a creamy delight.
Begin by peeling and chopping the onion and potato into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Next, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped potato, corn, and vegetable broth to the pot, bringing it to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Once the potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to blend the chowder to your desired consistency.
Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve warm, garnished with extra corn or fresh herbs if desired.
