Chef Jack’s Corn Chowder
Recipe Courtesy of Paula Deen
Based on 19 Reviews
Servings: 8 to 10 servings
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients Add to grocery list
3 cup chicken stock
2 cup half-and-half
3 cup white corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small celery stalk, diced
1 small carrot, finely diced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper
Directions
Melt 1 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Cook until the roux is lightly browned; set aside to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, combine the corn and chicken stock in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the boiling stock with the corn (a little at a time) into the skillet with the roux, whisking briskly so it doesn’t lump. Return the skillet to the heat and bring to a boil. The mixture should become very thick. In a small saucepan, gently heat the half-and-half; stir it into the thick corn mixture. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, cut the remaining stick of butter into large chunks. Add it to enrich the soup, stirring until the butter melts.

Was watching Paula's show with my mom, the weather was a bit cold and it looked easy to cook. It was delicious, my kids and husband enjoyed it. I added a biscuit at the bottom of the bowl before adding the chowder. "wow" Definitely will make again ( :

This is a keeper. I followed the directions exactly EXCEPT as others had done, I didn't use the second stick of butter AND I added two cups of diced ham. Yummy ! ! !

I had to go out of town on business. My 11 year old, picky eater, stayed with her aunt and uncle. When I got home all she could talk about was Paula Deen's corn chowder that Aunt Kim made. Keep up the good work, there are very few of your recipes that she has not loved. Definitely a 5

Got this receipe from my daughter's Paula Deen cookbook.....Just awesome! Cooked it and served with a club sandwich. Very easy and has a great taste. Hardest part is washing the dishes.

I have left out the nutmeg each time I've made it, but OMG!!!!! This is delicious. I don't always give a score of 5, but this is amazing with the right corn. I add a can of cream of corn to the soup at the end, because I like it all to taste like corn. Otherwise, the corn and the soup taste like two separate entities and I like it to be more homogeneous. I love this soup and everyone that has tasted it wants the recipe. This is a surefire winner.

My family loved this recipe! The second stick of butter really heightened the flavor. I also added some leftover ham.

This was definitely a crowd pleaser! I did not add the 2nd stick of butter and used 1.5 cups of half and half. It was delicious. I did sprinkle each serving with bacon bits, and that was fabulous!

I have made this twice. It is delicious, Creamy and rich, I didn't use the second stick of butter. I used it for a card game which was mostly men and they loved it.

Great recipe and as a twist, I've used the stock off the turkey from Thanksgiving rather than the chicken stock (very flavorful)! E. Stevens, Atlanta, GA

This is Wonderful! I didn't add the final stick of butter and didn't miss it. I did add ham for the "meat lovers" and that was a bonus! Easy and delicious! Laura, Norwich, CT

I have never been a huge fan of corn chowder, but this recipe was wonderful! Very flavorful and easy. Great for all the left over corn from my dinner party.

Rich, comforting and the garlic really adds something. It is a wonderful soup I make pretty often.
