Ingredients
- 8 Ears Fresh sweet yellow corn, kernels cut from cob

Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons Butter/Ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 3 Shallots (chopped) and 1 yellow or orange bell pepper (diced), and cook, stirring frequently, until onion has softened, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add in the 1 1/2 tablespoons Gluten-Free Flour, 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, and 2 Garlic Cloves (minced), and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Add in the 5 Cups Water or Vegetable Stock.
- Bring to a boil, then stir in 8 Ears Fresh sweet yellow corn, kernels cut from cob, 1 pound Yellow Potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder, and 1 Bay Leaf.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your taste.
- Remove the bay leaf then transfer half of the chowder to a blender. Blend until smooth, then stir the mixture back into the pot.
- Serve in bowls, garnish with more corn, and 2-3 Tbsp Chopped fresh chives, and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to add some cooked bacon bits as garnish if you like. Or you can even use some shredded Chicken
- Use a waxy potato, like Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- You don't have to peel the potatoes.
- If your corn is not as sweet as you'd like, add a dash of honey to the chowder.
- If your corn is super sweet, you can add a little more salt to balance the sweetness.
- Add in some sliced jalapenos for a spicy kick!
- Top with some cheddar cheese for a lovely, cheesy twist.
