A warm and satisfying creamy vegetable chowder that’s perfect for cozy dinners, lazy weekends, or holiday meals. Packed with fresh veggies and a velvety texture, it’s pure comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour if needed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste from the flour.
  4. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the corn, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the chowder simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for another 5 minutes. If the chowder is too thick, add a splash of milk or broth to adjust the consistency.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

[‘Don’t rush the sauté to develop full flavors.’, ‘Use fresh vegetables for better texture and taste.’, ‘Stir constantly when adding flour to prevent clumps.’, ‘Simmer until vegetables are tender for best results.’, ‘Adjust thickness with extra broth or milk if needed.’]
