Market Fresh Corn Chowder

Utah’s farmer’s markets are still going strong. We went to the market over the weekend and picked up a bunch of fresh produce to make a few meals. We used our fresh sweet corn to make a big pot of Corn Chowder. It is the perfect recipe to transition into fall.

Corn Chowder Tip

We were able to use fresh summer produce to make a comforting corn chowder soup. The soup was loaded with vegetables-onion, celery, carrot, red pepper, Yukon Gold potatoes, poblano pepper, and of course sweet corn. We removed the corn kernels from the fresh ears of sweet corn but didn’t discard the empty cobs.

  • Tip: We placed the cobs in the pot with the rest of the vegetables and let the soup simmer away. The cobs added a little extra flavor!

If you can’t find fresh sweet corn, you can use frozen corn or canned corn. The chowder will still be tasty:)

Chowder and Biscuits

This vegetarian corn chowder is creamy, thick, and filling. We made homemade buttermilk biscuits to go with the chowder. They were the perfect addition to this comforting and delicious meal. Josh topped his bowl off with shredded cheddar cheese, which made the corn chowder even more creamy and rich. If you are looking for a hearty fall meal, give this easy corn chowder soup a try.

  • 1 red pepper, seeds removed and diced
  • 3 tablespoons minced poblano pepper
  • 2 Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and diced
