Delicious Potato Chowder Recipe for a Cozy Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 stalks celery (chopped)
  • 1 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and dice the potatoes, chop the onion and celery, and slice the carrots.

    Uniform sizes help them cook evenly.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, sauté onions and celery over medium heat until translucent.

    This enhances the flavor base of the chowder.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients

    Add potatoes, carrots, and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil.

    Cover the pot to speed up boiling.
  4. Simmer

    Reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Blend and Add Cream

    Use an immersion blender to puree the chowder to your desired consistency. Stir in heavy cream.

    For a chunkier texture, blend only half.
  6. Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.

    Garnish with fresh herbs or croutons for added flavor.
