Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup cubed potato
- ½ cup chopped carrot
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- 1 cup half-and-half
- ¾ cup frozen corn, thawed
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir flour, basil, pepper, and salt into butter and pour in chicken broth. Cook and stir broth mixture until thickened and boiling, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir potato, carrot, and green onions into broth mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are mostly tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir half-and-half and corn into broth mixture; cook and stir until chowder is heated through, about 5 more minutes.
- If you like meat, 3/4 cup diced ham or chicken is quite good. That will make it 4 servings. I like to serve with green salad and crusty bread.

Good and yummy
Excellent and was a perfect quantity for two. Also, I used veggies broth instead of chicken to keep it vegetarian. Next time I will use shelled edamame instead of corn for a punch of protein.
I added a large stalk of celery chopped, a large jalapeno chopped finely, and a bay leaf. I would definitively make it again. We loved it!
I followed this recipe, though since I was using more vegetables (broccoli and red bell peppers that needed used), I increased the chicken broth (and used stock) and used an entire carton. I subbed white pepper for black. Upon tasting, I found this to be a bit bland, so I added a good handful of shredded cheddar; this hit the mark. As written, “3” stars; with the addition of cheddar, “4”. THANKS for the recipe!
