Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons butter

  • 1 ½ cups chopped carrots
  • 1 ½ cups chopped celery
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 cups diced potatoes

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Fresh chopped parsley
  • Extra shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes until vegetables soften.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic, oregano, thyme, and sage. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add a splash of broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pot’s bottom.
  5. Stir in remaining broth, potatoes, broccoli, corn, and additional salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Remove from heat. Stir in heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and balsamic vinegar until cheese melts completely.
  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish with parsley, extra cheese, and oyster crackers.

Notes

For a thicker chowder, mash some potatoes against the side of the pot. For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk for cream and use dairy-free cheese alternatives. Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
