Ingredients
- 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup noodles
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, and measuring out corn, noodles, broth, and milk.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent and softened, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Pour in vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add corn kernels and allow to cook for 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the noodles and continue cooking for about 8-10 minutes, or until noodles are tender and cooked through.
- Reduce heat to low and slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly to prevent scalding.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together and chowder to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving hot.
Tips
- • For the best flavor, use fresh corn when in season, but high-quality frozen corn works perfectly too • Make sure to sauté the onions and garlic slowly to develop a rich, deep flavor base • Stir the milk in gradually and on low heat to prevent curdling • Don't overcook the noodles - they should be tender but not mushy • For a richer chowder, you can substitute half the milk with heavy cream • Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra freshness • If you want more protein, consider adding diced chicken or crispy bacon on top • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days - just reheat gently
