Mimi’s Cafe Corn Chowder Recipe

If you’re ready to elevate your chowder game, you’re in the right place. Let’s explore the deliciousness packed into this corn chowder!

Ingredients

Here’s what you need for this great corn chowder:

4 cups fresh corn (or canned, if you’re feeling lazy - no judgment here)
1 cup diced potatoes (because who doesn’t love a potato?
1 medium onion, chopped (tears optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced (for that extra kick)
4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth, if you’re not vegetarian)
1 cup heavy cream (because life is too short to skip on the cream)
1 tablespoon butter (because extra flavor)
Salt and pepper, to taste (season to your heart’s desire)
Fresh chives, for garnish (a fancy touch)

Instructions

Now, let’s set the stage for the magic that is corn chowder:

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent. This is your first step towards culinary glory!
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. You want that garlicky goodness dancing in the air!
Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring everything to a gentle boil and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender – about 10-15 minutes.
Once the potatoes are nice and tender, it’s time to add the fresh corn. Stir it in and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Now, carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. If you like it chunky, go easy on the blending. If you prefer it smooth, blend away!
Finally, stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for an extra few minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve your corn chowder in bowls topped with fresh chives. Voilà! You’ve just created a bowl of happiness!

Now kick back, relax, and enjoy every spoonful of your homemade corn chowder. Remember, the only thing better than enjoying it yourself is sharing it with someone special (or not and keeping it all to yourself - we won’t tell). Happy cooking!
