Ingredients
- 2 cups fairlife® ultra-filtered milk
- 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 2.5 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium (or 3 small) Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed small
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, divided
- 5 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
- Chopped fresh chives and/or jalapeno, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1
Warm the oil in a wide heavy stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, carrot and 1 teaspoon kosher salt (reserve remaining). Let cook, stirring often, until softened (about 5 minutes).
Step 2
Then add all of the dried seasonings and flour. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes until all of the flour has fully incorporated.
Step 3
Next, add the minced garlic, diced potatoes, and chicken or vegetable broth. Use a whisk or flat-edge spoon to scrape-up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once boiling, immediately reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Step 5
Lastly, add the corn kernels (directly from freezer if not using fresh), fairlife® ultra-filtered milk, and remaining 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt. Warm through over low heat (about 5 minutes).
Step 6
Transfer 3 cups of the soup mixture (roughly even amounts broth and vegetables) to a blender and purée until smooth.
Step 7
Return the puréed soup to the pot and stir to combine. Let the soup simmer over low heat for another 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 8
Serve with a sprinkling of fresh chives and/or chopped jalapeno.
freezer instructions: let finished chowder cool off-heat for 20-30 minutes, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for 2-3 weeks. Re-heat by letting sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, then transfer to a pot and warm over medium-low heat.
