Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3–4 ears of corn)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh herbs (thyme or basil), chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the chopped yellow onion and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes: Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the pot and stir for another 2 minutes, allowing their rich flavors to bloom alongside the aromatics.
  3. Add corn and broth: Stir in fresh corn kernels and pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld together beautifully.
  4. Blend until creamy: Remove about one-third of the soup and blend it until smooth. Return the blended portion to the pot to achieve a creamy texture while retaining fresh corn bite.
  5. Stir in cream and season: Pour in heavy cream or coconut milk, stirring gently to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs like thyme or basil. Let the soup warm through before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, sweet corn for best flavor and texture.
  • Partially blending the soup creates a creamy consistency without losing texture.
  • Adjust broth quantity to reach preferred chowder thickness.
  • Toast sun-dried tomatoes briefly before adding broth to intensify flavor.
  • Season gradually and taste as you go for balanced flavor.
