Ingredients
  

For the chowder

  • 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Can be substituted with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth Ensure it's gluten-free if needed.
  • 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch pieces
  • 3 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen Frozen corn works perfectly and saves preparation time.
  • 2.5 cups cooked diced chicken
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Add at the end for creaminess.
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring several times, until the onions and celery are soft, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute while stirring. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2 minutes while stirring.
  • Slowly stir in the chicken broth, cooking over medium-low heat until slightly thickened.
  • Bring the mixture to a low boil and add the potatoes, cooking for 7-10 minutes.
  • Add the corn and gently boil for 3-5 minutes or until the potatoes and corn are tender.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the chicken, warming for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove the soup from the heat and slowly stir in the cream. Add the fresh thyme and parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding some smoked paprika or bacon. If you like a spicier chowder, increase the amount of cayenne pepper according to your taste. Make sure to stir the chowder frequently while it cooks to prevent sticking or burning.
