Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Sweet onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 cup Sun dried tomatoes
- 2 cups Corn kernels
- 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup Half and half
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 1/4 cup Chives, chopped
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1/2 cup Flour, for coating goat cheese
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup Seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in minced garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional minute, allowing flavors to meld.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes, corn, and diced Yukon gold potatoes. Stir to combine.
- Pour in chicken or vegetable stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the half and half and flour until smooth to avoid lumps. Stir this mixture into the chowder.
- Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the chowder to thicken beautifully.
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped chives. For added richness, top with sliced goat cheese before serving.
- For the crispy topping, coat goat cheese slices lightly in flour, dip in beaten egg, and roll in seasoned bread crumbs. Fry in olive oil until golden brown.
Notes
Feel free to substitute vegetable stock for chicken to keep it vegetarian, or use non-dairy milk instead of half and half to accommodate dietary needs.
