Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
• 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the diced red and yellow bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the cubed potatoes and corn kernels to the pot. Stir to combine the vegetables evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 7

Simmer the chowder for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Stir in the milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through, but do not let the mixture boil.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 10

Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy!
