This corn chowder recipe was one of my favorites as a child in upstate New York, and I still love it today. For extra depth, place the spent cob in the soup, simmer, then remove. —Tracy Bivins, Knob Noster, Missouri

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 pound red potatoes (about 3 medium), cubed
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn (about 7 ounces)
  • 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1-1/4 cups half-and-half cream, divided
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Directions

  • 1. In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir 2-4 minutes or until tender. Add potatoes, corn, broth, 1 cup cream, green onions, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 12-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • 2. In a small bowl, mix flour and remaining cream until smooth; stir into soup. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in parsley.
