Savory Veggie Delight Chowder: Your Go-To Comfort Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp of butter
• 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour
• ¼ tsp of dried basil
• ¼ tsp of ground black pepper
• ⅛ tsp of salt
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 cup of cubed potato pieces
• ½ cup of chopped carrots
• ¼ cup of thinly sliced green onions
• 1 cup of half-and-half
• ¾ cup of thawed frozen corn

Step 1

Begin by gently melting the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. Next, infuse the butter with the flavors of flour, basil, pepper, and salt, creating a fragrant base. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and begins to simmer, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2

Introduce the hearty ingredients of potato, carrot, and green onions into the bubbling broth, allowing them to intermingle and enhance the flavors. Let the pot come to a lively boil before reducing the heat and letting the chowder simmer, coaxing the potatoes to tenderness over the next 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

To add richness and texture, gently stir in the half-and-half and sweet corn, allowing them to meld with the savory broth. Continue to cook and stir, ensuring that the chowder is warmed through, creating a delightful harmony of flavors, for about 5 additional minutes.
