Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups golden potatoes, diced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1.5 cups frozen corn
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the frozen corn and diced zucchini. Allow the chowder to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and flour until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture into the pot, stirring constantly to thicken the chowder.

Step 7

Season the chowder with salt and ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting as necessary.

Step 8

Simmer the chowder for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired thickness.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
