You won’t want to pass this one up my friends… a fantastic recipe right now when corn is IN season!
Shuck fresh corn on the cob
Rinse corn and get rid of all silk
Quarter baby red potatoes.
Dice onions.
With a knife-slice the corn off the cob.
You may end up cutting kernels unevenly-don’t worry about it.
Saute butter in large pot, add onions and garlic
Then add flour, salt and pepper – this will make a paste on your onions.
Add milk, broth, cream, corn, and potatoes.
Place 3 corn on the cobs (with kernels off) in the soup for an extra corny taste. This really “makes it”. Cover and let simmer for 20 mins until the potatoes are tender.
I added seasoned salt and pepper on top.

  1. am anxious to try this but must make some adjustments for the sodium as I had a massive heart attack in May and must be careful not to have more than 1500 mg/day How do I print out the recipe

    1. Janet, I just wanted to let you know that I’m so sorry for your ill health and will pray for you that there will be no repeat occurrences! You could just copy and paste the recipe into the body of a word processing document then print it that way.

    1. Janelle,

      My neighbor just shared some of his 60 acres of corn with me and this will be a great recipe to make. Before this, I planned to just grill it.

      I am also going to add the shrimp and red pepper like Lori suggested.

  2. Looking forward to trying this tomorrow! I am dealing with a very picky eater though who does not like – and can spot the tiniest piece of – onion. She likes the flavor, but freaks out if she “bites into” a chopped piece of onion. I am assuming that the addition of flour could be just the melted butter (as if making any other roux) and whisked together well before adding the broth and other ingredients? Also, has anyone ever added bacon to this?

    Thanks!
    Nik

  3. I made this chowder today…I’m Pennsylvania Dutch, so…I’m gonna add sliced hard boiled egg to it. Now, it’s complete!! Thanks!
