This thick, potato-studded corn chowder is perfect on a cold winter night or to satisfy your summer soup cravings. It is a simple recipe, rich, creamy, and velvety smooth. It has been a family favorite for years!
But until then, let’s talk about soup. Truffle butter and corn are my two favorite things this season. I remember we hunted for truffle last Christmas from Costco to another, looking for truffle butter that got sold out very fast because it was also on sale. We did not get a lot but it was a good bargain. Thankfully, I managed to steal one more this year and oh boy, it was so good! Truffle butter for my egg for breakfast, truffle butter on my steak, and of course into this corn chowder.
No, I mean it. Amazingly.
And what makes it so special is when you combine these two together in one pot. It’s so good and easy to make.
So here we go. Corn Chowder. 5 ingredients.
Easy. Tasty. Comforting. I don’t even know what to say about this. I mean, I’m sure I could come up with a few more things to jazz it up if you made me, but let’s stick with 5 ingredients for now.
I am using sweet corn in this photo; however roasted corn also works well for this recipe. Just be sure to peel those potatoes.
Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! Combine the olive oil, onion, corn, potatoes, broth, and milk, and cook on low for 4 hours. Then finish the soup as in step 3. Easy as 1-2-3.
