❄️🥔 Winter Chowder — 5-Ingredient Thick & Filling Soup

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Cook the Potatoes
Add diced potatoes and broth to a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 12–15 minutes until potatoes are tender.

Step 2 — Add the Corn
Stir in the corn and continue simmering for 5 minutes.

Step 3 — Make It Creamy
Pour in the milk or half-and-half. Stir well and heat gently — do not let it boil hard.

Step 4 — Thicken the Chowder
Use a spoon or potato masher to lightly mash some of the potatoes right in the pot. This naturally thickens the soup.

Step 5 — Season & Serve
Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer a few more minutes until warm and thick. 

🍲 Serving Ideas

Serve with warm bread, toast, or crackers. It’s also great topped with a little shredded cheese if you want extra richness.
