Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced, large
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 2 celery diced, stalks
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups vegetable broth low sodium
- 1 pound potato diced
- 4 cups corn kernels about 4 large corn on the cobs
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt room temperature
- green onions chopped, for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables soften. Add garlic and butter and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add flour and stir to coat the vegetables until no longer visible. Add the broth, potatoes, corn, thyme, bay leaf, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until potatoes are tender and broth has thickened, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the bay leaf and transfer about 3 cups of the soup and the Greek yogurt to a high-speed blender and process until smooth. Take care when blending hot liquids as they will expand as they mix. You can also use an immersion blender.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir to combine. Serve the chowder with green onions and an extra spoonful of Greek yogurt, if desired.

Notes
- Storage: Let the soup cool, then transfer it to an airtight container and put it in the fridge. The soup will keep for up to 5 days! To reheat it, you can do so in a saucepan or in the microwave until warmed through.
