Ingredients for Chicken Corn Chowder

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 cups chicken stock
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 2 cups yellow and white corn kernels

How to Make Chicken Corn Chowder

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic; sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
2. Stir in cubed potatoes and pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Pour in the half-and-half and add shredded chicken and corn kernels. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
4. Season with salt and pepper. For a thicker chowder, mash a few potato chunks against the pot’s side.
5. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and an extra crack of black pepper.
