There’s nothing quite like fresh corn in the summer — sweet, juicy, and full of flavor. And this One-Pot Summer Corn Chowder captures all that goodness in one creamy, cozy, and surprisingly light bowl.

It’s a naturally gluten-free, veggie-packed chowder that comes together in just one pot, no heavy cream needed. Made with sweet corn, tender potatoes, and a touch of coconut milk or Greek yogurt for creaminess, this dish is summer comfort food at its best — perfect for those cooler evenings or breezy weekends when you want something warm but fresh.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

• ½ yellow onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced small

• 3 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn

• 2 cups low-sodium veggie broth or chicken broth

• ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk or plain Greek yogurt

• Salt & pepper to taste

• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

• Chopped fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Sauté the base
   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

2. Simmer the chowder
   Add potatoes, corn, and broth. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

3. Make it creamy
   Stir in coconut milk or Greek yogurt. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes to heat through. Use an immersion blender to blend slightly (or transfer a portion to a blender) for a thicker texture — or leave it chunky if that’s your vibe.

4. Garnish & serve
   Spoon into bowls and top with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of black pepper, or even a few crispy tortilla strips.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Want it heartier? Add shredded rotisserie chicken or white beans.

• No immersion blender? Just mash a few potatoes in the pot with the back of a spoon.

• Coconut-free? Use Greek yogurt, cashew cream, or light cream instead.

• Spice it up: Add a dash of chipotle powder or chopped green chiles.

Flavorful Conclusion:

This One-Pot Summer Corn Chowder is fresh, creamy, and full of real-food goodness — the kind of healthy fast food at home recipe that celebrates summer produce without a lot of fuss. It’s light enough for warm days but cozy enough to satisfy.
