- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 2 medium carrots diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 cups cooked chicken diced
- 2 cups corn kernels fresh or frozen
- 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Add milk, potatoes, and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in the chicken and corn. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until heated through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the chowder is too thick, add more milk or broth to reach desired consistency.
