Fresh Corn Zucchini Chowder
A simple corn zucchini chowder with tons of diced potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and celery. I’m kicking it up a few notches with diced jalapeños too! This summer chowder is bomb.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter1 1/4 cup yellow onions, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
4 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 jalapeńo, diced (remove seeds/ribs before to control spice)
3/4 lb. yukon gold potatoes, diced
4 cups low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 large zucchini, diced
2 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 cup half and half or heavy cream
fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
In a large dutch oven, heat the butter over medium high heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables soften. Add the garlic, jalapenos, and potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring so the veggies don't stick to the pot.Add the broth, bay leaf, and thyme, bring to a boil. Cover, lower the heat and let simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are half way cooked. Add the zucchini and corn kernels and continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through. You can check the doneness by gently piercing with the tip of a knife.
Remove the bay leaf, transfer 2 cups or more (see notes) into a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the blended mixture back into the pot. Heat the soup over medium high heat, add the half and half and let come to a gentle simmer. Serve topped with fresh parsley and smoked paprika if desired.
Notes
You can blend all or none of the chowder as well. This is completely to your preference! Use more or less jalapeños to preference too!
