Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter or fat over medium heat. Add 2 sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes. Do not let them brown.
-
Step 2.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the cooked onions and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to coat the onions and cook off the raw flour taste.
-
Step 3.
Pour in 2 cups of water and add 4 sliced potatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10–15 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Stir in 1 can (or 2 cups) of cooked fresh corn and 3 cups of scalded milk. Increase heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chowder is heated through and slightly thickened.
-
Step 5.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
