Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn, kernels cut from cob

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1 cup shredded carrot

  • 1 stalk celery, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 4 red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 2 cups light cream

  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Roux:

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine corn kernels and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a baking dish; stir to coat corn kernels in oil.

  3. Roast corn in preheated oven for 20 minutes.

  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, carrot, celery, and garlic in the olive oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir chicken broth, roasted corn, potatoes, light cream, cream-style corn, parsley, salt, and pepper into the vegetable mixture; bring to a boil.

  5. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat; stir flour into melted butter and whisk until a paste forms and begins to thin, about 5 minutes.

  6. Stir roux into the chowder; continue cooking until chowder is thickened, about 30 minutes.
