Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh corn kernels (or 2 cans of corn, drained)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Potatoes and Corn: Add the diced potatoes and corn kernels to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

      Pour in Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover the pot and let it simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

        Blend for Creaminess: Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to purée the chowder until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, only blend half of the mixture and leave the rest intact. Alternatively, you can transfer half the soup to a blender, blend it, and return it to the pot.

          Stir in Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk). Allow the chowder to warm through for an additional 5 minutes, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

            Serve Hot: Ladle the creamy corn chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley.
