Quick & Savory Soup
This soup tastes like it’s been simmering on the stove for hours but it’s super fast to make. It’s creamy, rich and satisfying. Add chunks of salmon, garlic shrimp or even leftover ham.
Ingredients
Lots of healthy and tender vegetables make up this thick and hearty chowder! VEGETABLES Colorful carrots, corn, and celery are simmered in a rich and creamy base. Time saving tip: frozen vegetable medley can be used in a pinch! Corn can be fresh off the cob, use frozen kernels, or even canned. POTATOES We use baking potatoes in this recipe since they’re nice and starchy. Toss in some leftover mashed potatoes or use up extra baked potatoes in this recipe. BASE Chicken broth mixed with cream and potatoes make the base. Use cartons of broth or homemade stock. If serving it vegetarian-style, just sub out the chicken stock for vegetable broth!

Slow Cooker Version:
Instant Pot Version:
Blending some of the potatoes or vegetables in the soup will naturally thicken it. Make a slurry by combining equal parts corn starch and cold water. Slowly pour into the simmering chowder a bit at a time until thickened. Add a sprinkle or two of mashed potato flakes.
What to Serve with Potato Corn Chowder
Potato soup is perfect for mix-ins! Create a DIY Potato Corn Chowder by setting out bowls of some of our favorite mix-ins and toppings:
Bacon bits Sliced jalapenos Chopped tomatoes Shredded cheddar cheese Sour cream
Don’t forget the sides! We recommend some homemade cornbread, with a drizzle of sweet honey or some cheesy breadsticks, and a tangy cucumber tomato salad.
Leftovers
Potato corn chowder tastes better the next day! Store it covered in the refrigerator and it will keep for about 4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave. To freeze, ladle cold soup in zippered bags labeled with the date and it will keep in the freezer for about 3 months. If frozen, the consistency will change a little bit.
