by

Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25–30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced potatoes (about 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes
    Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. This ensures they cook evenly and become tender.
  2. Cook the potatoes
    In a medium pot, add the diced potatoes and milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the corn
    Once the potatoes are just tender (about 10–12 minutes), stir in the sweet corn. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  4. Add cream
    Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5–10 minutes until the chowder thickens and coats a spoon.
  5. Season to taste
    Add salt and pepper to taste. Optional: a pinch of smoked paprika or chopped fresh herbs enhances the flavor.
  6. Serve warm
    Ladle the chowder into bowls. It’s thick, hearty, and perfect for cozy dinners.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • Add bacon bits or chopped green onions for garnish.
  • Blend half of the chowder with an immersion blender for a creamier texture.

This 4-ingredient cabin-chic chowder delivers a thick, comforting, and flavorful bowl without fuss—perfect for weeknight dinners or cozy weekend meals.
