Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn if fresh)

1 medium onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 red bell pepper, diced

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

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

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil for a lighter alternative)

1 teaspoon dried or fresh thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the unsalted butter (or olive oil) over medium heat. Once melted, add the finely diced onion and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

    Add Garlic and Potato: Stir in the minced garlic and the diced potatoes. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant, while stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic.

      Incorporate Corn and Broth: Add the corn kernels, smoked paprika, thyme, and the vegetable or chicken broth to the pot. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.

        Blend for Creaminess: Using an immersion blender, carefully blend about half of the chowder in the pot to achieve a creamy texture while retaining some chunky bits. If you do not have an immersion blender, transfer half of the chowder to a regular blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot, stirring to combine.

          Add Cream and Seasoning: Pour in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and season the chowder generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Allow the chowder to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat through and allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Serve and Garnish: Ladle the chowder into warm bowls. For a vibrant touch, sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top as a garnish before serving.
