Making the Chowder

I love to make my soups and chowders in this enameled Dutch oven. It holds and evenly distributes heat so well, making it ideal for almost any dish. If you are in the market, this Lodge Dutch oven is amazing.

You can always just throw your veggies in with stock and get cooking, but I actually like to saute the onions, carrots and celery first. I love the flavor.

Once they have sauteed for a few minutes, add in your corn and potatoes. There are so many great varieties of potatoes, but for soups Yukon gold, or gold potatoes are my favorite. I also prefer to cut them in pretty good-sized chunks too. I am not sure why? Other than it just feels right!

Which Stock (broth) to use?

You can either use a veggie stock or chicken stock like I did here. I had chicken stock on hand, so it was used. Veggie stock is great as well, having used it many times and love it as well. I don’t recommend beef broth for this, but that is also a personal thing.

Add in your sundried tomatoes and seasoning. That is it. Turn on medium-high and set to boil. Boil until your potatoes are tender.

Once the potatoes are tender, mix a little cornstarch with heavy cream. Mix it into the hot soup. This will give you a creamy soup and thicken it just slightly. That’s it, the Corn Chowder with Sundried Tomatoes is ready to go!!
