Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 2 cups Frozen corn kernels
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring continuously, and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked chicken and corn kernels, letting them heat through for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the heavy cream and season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 9

Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 10

Serve the chowder hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
