Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 stalks Celery, finely diced
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 15 ounces Canned creamed corn
• 1 cup Frozen sweet corn kernels
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and celery mixture, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Stir in the creamed corn, frozen sweet corn kernels, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and sugar. Let the chowder simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Taste the chowder and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 7

Serve hot, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley for added color and flavor. Enjoy!
