Provided by Jeanne Benavidez

Categories     Other Soups

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground beef
salt and pepper to season beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalk(s) (ribs) celery, chopped
1 green or red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 - 2 clove garlic, minced
5 Tbsp butter, divided
4 c chicken broth
2 - 3 large potatoes, diced (peeled or unpeeled, your choice)
1 pkg (16 oz) frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 c processed cheese (velveeta) cubed
1 1/2 c milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium-sized, non-stick skillet, brown the beef seasoned with salt and pepper, drain and set aside.
  • 2. In a 3-quart soup pot, sauté the onion, celery, bell pepper, basil, parsley and garlic in 2 tablespoon butter until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • 3. Add the chicken broth, potatoes, browned ground beef and corn to the soup pot. Add more chicken broth or water to cover the vegetables if necessary. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 12-15 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
  • 4. Meanwhile, in the non-stick skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the flour, stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until bubbly. This will help thicken the soup stock.
  • 5. Add butter-flour mixture to the soup pot, stir well and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.
  • 6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheese, milk, salt and pepper, stirring until cheese melts.
  • 7. Remove from the heat and serve immediately. Great served in a nice bread bowl and garnished with sour cream, chopped green onions or chives.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is the best choice for this chowder, but you can also use frozen or canned corn if fresh corn is unavailable.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot or they will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this chowder, so use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well.
  • Don't boil the milk: When adding the milk to the chowder, don't let it boil or the cheese will curdle.
  • Serve immediately: Corn chowder is best served immediately after it is made, while it is still hot and cheesy.

Conclusion:

Cheesy corn chowder is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chowder thick or thin, with or without bacon, this recipe is a great starting point. So next time you're looking for a warm and hearty soup, give this cheesy corn chowder a try!
