This is a family favorite and is very easy to make. Most of your time will be spent on prepping your ingredients. Make sure to dice your vegetables small, about the size of your corn kernels. The potatoes can be a bit larger, but not more than about 1/2 inch. This is important so that they cook at the same rate, but also so that the other ingredients don’t take away from the corn being the star of this chowder. Perfect served with crusty bread.

Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to combine. Continue to sauté for about another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to keep flour from burning.
