Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

02

Step

Stir in the thawed corn, vegetable broth (or water), diced hash browns, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

04

Step

In a separate small bowl, whisk together ½ cup of the milk and the all-purpose flour until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.

05

Step

Pour the milk and flour mixture into the simmering chowder, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or scorching.

06

Step

Stir in the remaining 1 ½ cups of milk. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the chowder has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.

07

Step

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference. Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a swirl of cream for an extra touch of elegance.

For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of vegetable broth or water.
If you prefer a smoother chowder, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the remaining milk.
Garnish with crispy bacon bits, a dollop of sour cream, or chopped chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
Fresh corn kernels, cut straight from the cob, will elevate the sweetness, if they're in season.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
